Modrić: We deserved to go through; Guardiol: It's not easy with Lukaku

Croatia was lucky against Belgium, in the end they won a point that brought them second place and passage to the round of XNUMX of the World Cup.

"Vatreni" finished the group with five points - they beat Canada, drew with Morocco and Belgium.

"We are overjoyed to be in the round of XNUMX. I think we deserved it, especially with our performance in the last two games. We were very good against Belgium, there were moments when we had a hard time, because we had a terrible team as our rival. We left everything to field", said Modrić and added:

"We achieved the first goal. We showed that we are a top team and that we can play against anyone," said the Real Madrid ace.

Josko Guardiol played flawlessly, showing why he is one of the most sought-after central defenders in today's football.

"We suffered pressure in the finish, missed some chances. To be honest, we have to be satisfied with the point. Lukaku? It wasn't easy to guard him, we all know what kind of player he is," said the Leipzig defender.
