Brazil head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, was seen sharing a light-hearted moment with Luka Modric following Brazil’s 3-1 victory over Croatia in an international friendly on Tuesday.
The Seleção responded strongly after their recent 2-1 loss to France, delivering an impressive performance to secure the win at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, United States.
Goals from Danilo, Igor Thiago, and Gabriel Martinelli ensured Brazil’s comfortable victory over the Croatian side.
After the final whistle, Ancelotti approached Modric with a smile, exchanging a warm handshake with his former player.
In a playful remark, the Italian tactician asked, “Don’t you have a Brazilian grandfather?”
Modric previously worked under Ancelotti during their time together at Real Madrid, where the Croatian midfielder played a key role in the team.
During that period, Modric made 276 appearances across all competitions, scoring 28 goals and providing 50 assists under Ancelotti’s management.
