Leo Messi and Luka Modric are two legends. The former has won seven Ballon d’Ors and the latter one. The Argentine has four Champions Leagues and the Croatian five. And this Tuesday (7:00 p.m. GMT) they face their teams in the semifinals of the World Cup in Qatar-2022 in search of a revenge.
Messi, 35, and Modric, 37, reached the respective finals of the World Cups in Brazil-2014 and Russia-2018 with their teams, and lost. That little thorn can be removed now if they win the title in Qatar-2022, from which they are two steps away.
One of them will see his dream evaporate this Tuesday, while the one who wins this duel of legends will have a new opportunity to be world champion, on Sunday at the Lusail stadium, the same one where they will meet on Tuesday in semifinals.
