Nico Williams, the Spanish international, was impressed by a gesture from Luka Modric during Euro 2024.
Spain and Croatia met in a group stage match early in the competition, where the Spaniards were ruthless against the Croatians.
The latter were defeated 3-0 by a Spanish team led by the youthfulness of Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal.
During this match, the performance delivered by the Atletico Bilbao striker greatly impressed the Croatian captain.
At the end of the game, he sent a member of the Croatian staff to exchange his jersey with that of the young Spanish international.
This act of kindness from Luka Modric surprised Nico Williams a lot, and he didn’t hide it. “I exchanged jerseys with Luka Modric. I was surprised. A member of the Croatian staff came to me and said that Modric wanted my jersey.
I didn’t expect it and wondered what I had done for players like Modric to recognize me. It fills you with pride,” said the player.
Indeed, since the beginning of the tournament, Nico Williams has been impressing observers with his performances on the left side of the Spanish team.
Moreover, everyone agrees that his club will have a hard time keeping him for next season given the interest from big clubs in him.
