After 13 years at the club, Luka Modric played his last game for Real Madrid today. An emotional farewell was inevitable, and it was delivered in full!

In the thick of it was his former congenial partner in midfield, Toni Kroos. After Modric had left the field through a guard of honour from teammates and opponents from Real Sociedad, the German was among the first to wrap their arms around the club icon.

Even before kick-off, the captain was also honored with a fan choreography and XXL jersey in the center circle.

After nearly 600 games in the royal jersey, Modric's departure was visibly difficult for all involved. No doubt, the playmaker will be missed!

Speaking of difficult farewells and he will be missed: Don Carlo Ancelotti also shed a few tears.
