Not the best season… but still, it was a year with Modrić. For as long as he played for us, that was more than enough for me.

I've been dreading this day for a while, but now the goodbye is real, and I'm just… incredibly sad; a bit existential, even. I'm sure Saturday is going to be special for him, Lucas Vázquez, and Ancelotti, but if somehow the match enters a time vortex and loops forever and ever… well, I wouldn't complain.
