Journalist Josep Pedrerol was enraged that Real Madrid star Luka Modric asked Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward Kylian Mbappe for his shirt. The two players faced off during a UEFA Nations League game between France and Croatia.
Modric scored an early penalty to give Croatia a 1-0 win over the reigning world champions. However, that was not the main talking point of the night. According to El Chiringuito, Modric asked the 23-year-old forward for his shirt at the end of the game.
Thar did not go down well with Pedrerol, as Mbappe had snubbed Madrid in the summer to pen a new deal with PSG. Los Blancos looked good to snap him up for most of the 2021-22 canpaign.

Former Los Blancos manager Zinedine Zidane has been heavily linked with replacing current PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Zidane would have some of the world's best players to manage if he arrives at the Ligue 1 giants - Neymar, Lionel Messi and Mbappe.
