Lionel Messi and Luka Modric, two legends playing their last World Cup match

Messi can secure the World Cup trophy with Argentina, while Modric can take bronze medals home to Croatia.

We have compared the two legends World Cup results over the years. 

Two of the greatest legends in the history of football will play their last World Cup match this weekend. Lionel Messi and Argentina won over Modric and Croatia in the semi-finals and will therefore play the final against France, while Croatia will face Morocco in the match for 3rd place.

Both players have had a huge impact on their national teams during this World Cup and their careers in general.
35-year-old Messi has broken several records during this World Cup and together with Mbappe, he is the World Cup top scorer with 5 goals.
Messi misses the World Cup trophy in his collection, to have completed his trophy collection and if that happens he will undoubtedly be one of the best players in football history, if not the best.

Modric will do everything to finish with a World Cup medal before ending his World Cup career and the question is whether he will completely stop his Croatia career or if he will take the last European Championship with him.

Enjoy these two magicians this weekend as it is the last time they will be participating in a World Cup.
