Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti gave an amusing response when asked about Luka Modric’s glaring miss on Thursday night, joking that he was lucky that Croatia had already announced their World Cup squad.
Modric had a moment to forget with his side 2-0 as Vinicius Jr made his way into the box on the left and rolled the ball across goal.
The Croatian was there to meet it with the goal gaping and the keeper out of the picture but somehow managed to put the ball wide from four yards.

He looked like he wanted the ground to open up as he lay with his face down on the grass, contemplating what had just happened.
Fortunately for him it didn’t cost his side as they saw out a 2-1 victory.
And boss Ancelotti clearly saw the funny side when he was asked about it following the game.
‘I told him that luckily the call for Croatia is already made and he has no problems,’ he said.
Modric will captain his side in Qatar, having led them to the final back in 2018.
