Two giants faced each other last night against Sevilla. Real Madrid, which there is a lot to talk about at this time, but also friends who, like Sergio Ramos and Luka Modric, met again on the pitch after several years. This is what the Croatian said to the camera: “Brother, I will fuck you…”
There were grievances of all kinds, but also more than one well-known faces who yesterday were a living example of how friendship trumps any rivalry on the pitch. This is what Luka Modric said in Sergio Ramos’ ear when it was all over in the capital of Andalusia. It was glorious: “Brother, — you.”
Yesterday, mediation took place between former colleagues, friends and powerful personalities, as was glorious in the history of Real Madrid. After 16 years, Ramos became a contender, 24 months later he met his Whites teammates, and half a lifetime later he returned as a Sevilla native to a confrontation that led to his signing at the Bernabéu. Few clashes in this country have had so much spice when analyzing the preview of a clash that could be worthy of silverware down the road.
There was much injustice and disagreement, but when the duel is over, greatness recognizes greatness. The best people to explain this are none other than Luka Modric and Sergio Ramos. We are talking about two friends, about the living glories of Madrid and, above all, about two brothers who can give each other praise and barbs that hide more than just deep admiration. The Croatian looked for the camera to leave him a clear message.
An unbreakable brotherhood
“Brother, I was missing you to repeat the Lisbon goal,” Modric told Ramos regarding the shot he took, which Kepa saved brilliantly, and which could have been Sevilla’s winner last night. Luca and Sergio were locked in an eternal embrace on the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan turf, reflecting how their friendship was not even affected by the professional decisions of both at club level.
Then came the famous 50-minute camera chat in the Real Madrid dressing room where the defender still has great friends. There was no room for complaint, only to remember the good times and he concluded the match with silly arguments that on more than one occasion spoke of Ramos who would not yet have all the affection of his teammates. Broken theory for detractors.
