The favorite team to win the Qatar 2022 World Cup according to Luka Modric
Luka Modric is the captain and a key player on the Croatian national team. Although he is 36years old, his level has not declined, and he is still one of the best midfielders in the world.
During an interview with ESPN, he was asked about the candidates to win the Qatar 2022 World Cup, and he said: “We played against Argentina in the last World Cup, and we won. What I see now is a very good team, it seems to me, stronger than a few years ago. They’ve created a very strong group led by Lionel Messi. They are more united now and have not lost a lot of matches and that says a lot. With Messi, they are always one of the favorites to win the World Cup”.
