Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham has taken to social media on Friday, to pay tribute to ex-Blancos teammate Luka Modrić.
This comes after the pair locked horns on the international front yesterday evening, in a Nations League showdown between England and Croatia.
When all was said and done, it was the former who emerged triumphant, by two goals to one.
The aforementioned Bellingham for his part featured from the off in the fixture, and laid on the assist for his country’s opener. Veteran midfielder Modrić, meanwhile, was introduced off the bench during the 2nd-half.
Following the full-time whistle in London, the two former teammates were spotted sharing some warm words, as well as an embrace.
And as alluded to above, Bellingham was keen to highlight this exchange, courtesy of a post on social media.
Taking to his official Instagram account, the 23-year-old unveiled a photo of he and Modrić hugging, making clear his ongoing appreciation for one of the game’s all-time greats:
