LUKA MODRIC walked out of a post-match interview after objecting to a question asked by a reporter.

The Croatia star spoke to press after his side drew 2-2 with Albania in their second match of Euro 2024.

The result leaves Croatia with just one point, meaning they need to beat Italy in their final game to reach the knock-out stages.

A reporter asked Modric whether his team will opt for older or younger stars against the Azzurri - a question which annoyed the veteran midfielder.

Modric, 38, refused to answer the question and screwed up his face in response.

He then walked away after saying: "Come on let's go."

Modric has been ever present for club and country this season, though the match against Italy could be his last on the international stage.

He will be 40-years-old by the time the next World Cup rolls around so could decide to call it quits.

The midfielder was pivotal in Croatia's journey to the 2018 World Cup final, beating England along the way.

While he has won the Champions League six times with Real Madrid, and LaLiga on four occasions.

And despite his advancing years, Modric is expected to agree a one-year extension to his club contract with Real Madrid.
