⭐ High Praise for Modric

During the match, Galliani also shared his admiration for football great Luka Modric. He was sitting with former Milan players like coach Gattuso and Ambrosini when he praised Modric, comparing him to another legend, Andrea Pirlo. Galliani called Modric a “professor” of the game, adding that he is “one of those players who alone are worth the price of admission.”
