Legends of Portugal and Croatia, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric, met in the past hours, days after bidding farewell to the 2026 World Cup with their national teams.

Croatia exited the World Cup in the round of 32 at the hands of Portugal, losing 2-1, but Ronaldo and his teammates left the tournament after a 1-0 defeat to Spain in the round of 16.

The World Cup matches are still ongoing, but some football players are already on vacation after their national teams exited the tournament. This is the case with Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric, who were seen in recent hours enjoying their time on the beaches of Costa Brava (in Catalonia, Spain).

According to the newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo', the Portuguese and the Croatian, along with Pepe, the former Portugal star who was their teammate at Real Madrid, are staying at a distinctive hotel on the seafront.

Despite several years having passed since Cristiano Ronaldo, Modric, and Pepe shared the dressing room at Real Madrid, the friendship between the three is stronger than ever, as evidenced by the fact that they are spending their vacation time together in Catalonia.
