Modric’s smile has eclipsed that of Neymar. The Brazilian star, who tasted glory after the goal he scored in extra time, has broken down in tears after being knocked out. On the pitch he was inconsolably embracing another player and, to his surprise, a spontaneous child came down onto the pitch and went directly to comfort him.
