ADRIEN RABIOT HAILS LUKA MODRIC AS MILAN’S ULTIMATE DRIVING FORCE
AC Milan's Adrien Rabiot hails teammate Luka Modrić as "a true example for everyone." The 40-year-old Croatian has been instrumental in Milan's strong start, making them early Serie A title contenders after a major midfield overhaul.
Luka Modric's AC Milan midfield teammate Adrien Rabiot has praised him as "an inspiration" and "a true example for everyone." With the Rossoneri emerging as early candidates to win Serie A this season, the Croatian midfielder, who came as a free agent after spending 13 years at Real Madrid, has enjoyed an incredible start to life at the San Siro.
Rabiot and Modric finish Milan's midfield makeover.
Following a terrible 2024–25 season in which Milan finished in ninth place and had two managers change, the team restructured its midfield and brought back Massimiliano Allegri, who had been absent for 11 years. In fact, the Rossoneri signed Madrid great Modric for free in addition to acquiring Ardon Jashari and Samuele Ricci. Following his dispute at Marseille, Rabiot also made a comeback to Serie A.
Even at forty, Modric continues to work his magic at Milan.
One of the best midfielders of all time, Modric stands out from other top players due to his unmatched durability. Being a six-time Champions League champion with Real Madrid, Modric is one of the first names on the squad sheet and appears to be getting along well with his Milan teammates. Modric turned 40 in September. In the first two months of the season, the midfield wizard has been one of Serie A's greatest players. His game-winning efforts have made Allegri's team one of the early favourites to win the Scudetto at the end of the season.
Rabiot talks about what it is like to play alongside Modric.
In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Rabiot lavished Modric with admiration. The former Juventus player stated, "I am not shocked by his passion and professionalism; he would not be at this level at his age. " You cannot take what he does for granted at forty, which is why I am startled. He never stops giving it his all during practices and games. A real model for all.
"He is an inspiration, but it also depends on several factors, including his ailments and body. Modric is undoubtedly very passionate. And the motivation behind everything is passion. After that, he is content to keep playing and working out hard.
Is Milan going to win Serie A this year?
Allegri's team is now two points behind reigning champions Napoli and Roma in third place on the table after 13 points from their first six games. Rabiot is certain that his new team can win this season. "There are a lot of teams, as usual. It is a little unexpected to see Roma so high up," he said.
"Napoli is still the most powerful. The Italian team that has performed the best in Europe thus far is Inter, and they have an edge over us in that they have played together for a long time. We will not necessarily develop the ideal dynamic straight away. Juventus still lacks the chemistry necessary to win the Scudetto; they are not as good as Napoli or Inter. They will compete for a Champions League berth.
We will fight to the very end, and I hope to win the Scudetto again because, because of COVID, we were not able to fully celebrate our victory over Juventus. I want to rejoice with all of the fans in the square this time."
TIRED OR TOUGH? THE CONFLICTING ITALIAN MEDIA REPORTS ON SCOTT MCTOMINAY’S PERFORMANCE
Scott McTominay and Napoli suffer Champions League elimination after a 3-2 home defeat to Chelsea's clinical Joao Pedro.
Scott McTominay had a rough night as Napoli crashed out of the Champions League on Wednesday. The reigning Serie A champs missed out on a play-off spot after losing at home to Chelsea.
It was a wild night in the Champions League, and Napoli ended up as one of the biggest letdowns. Even with home advantage against Liam Rosenior's team, they only managed to finish 30th overall. Chelsea, on the other hand, walked away with sixth.
McTominay, along with Manchester United loanee Rasmus Hojlund, couldn’t stop Napoli from falling 3-2 in Naples. Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez opened the scoring, but Napoli hit back before halftime thanks to Antonio Vergara and Hojlund.
But after the break, Joao Pedro bagged a brace and sealed Napoli’s fate. The Italian press didn’t hold back in their reviews of McTominay’s performance.
Il Napolista gave McTominay a 6 out of 10. They liked his grit but pointed out he lost possession a few too many times in midfield. Still, they said he was a threat going forward—enough to give Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez something to worry about. But in the end, it just wasn’t enough for Conte’s side.
Il Messaggero also gave him a 6. They called his first half “average”, even though the game was played at a high level. After halftime, they thought he looked tired and didn’t live up to his usual standards.
Corriere dello Sport was a bit more generous with a 6.5. They praised his fighting spirit—classic Premier League style—and said he gave it everything he had. But as Serie A’s current MVP, expectations are high, and he just couldn’t find the goals Napoli needed.
Essere Partnopei matched that 6.5 rating. They praised his energy and said he was as active as ever, moving the ball well. Still, his efforts couldn’t keep Napoli from being knocked out.
Napoli Magazine skipped the ratings but said McTominay wasn’t at his best. He’s a key player for Conte and stayed committed, but it wasn’t enough to push Napoli into the next round.
"DON'T JUMP SHIP!" — ANTONIO CONTE’S EXPLOSIVE WARNING TO NAPOLI STARS AFTER JUVENTUS ROUT
Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund fail to fire as Juventus crush Napoli 3-0. Discover Conte’s defiant post-match reaction.
Napoli just fell nine points behind in the Serie A title chase after Scott McTominay and the rest of the squad took a heavy 3-0 loss against Juventus.
The defending champs barely put up a fight at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. Juventus looked sharp, closing the gap with Napoli to just a single point. Right now, Gli Azzurri sit fourth with 43 points, Juventus are right behind on 42, and Inter still lead the pack with 52. If Antonio Conte’s side wants to catch up, they’ve got a lot of work to do.
McTominay played the whole match for Napoli but couldn’t change the game. Frustration was obvious for the visitors. Rasmus Hojlund, on loan from Manchester United, struggled again and didn’t make much of a difference up front. While his parent club edged out Arsenal 3-2 in London, Hojlund missed two decent chances in Turin. He hasn’t scored for Napoli since late December.
Romelu Lukaku finally got back on the pitch after his injury, but with just 12 minutes left, the result was already settled. Juventus were two goals up—Jonathan David bagged the first, Kenan Yildiz added another, and Filip Kostic finished things off near the end with a third.
Napoli are still missing another Scot, Billy Gilmour, and creative midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is out hurt as well. Next up, Chelsea comes to Naples on Wednesday night. Napoli really needs a win to stay in the hunt for a Champions League play-off spot.
Conte faced up to the defeat but made it clear Napoli aren’t about to give up on the Scudetto—even with all these injuries.
Conte didn’t sugarcoat things:
“As long as it was 1-0, it felt close—like we might grab a draw,” he said. “But after their second goal, things opened up, and then they scored a third. Credit to them, but also to my guys. There’s not much to say or criticise. Even here in Turin, they gave everything.
“Sometimes you get past these obstacles, sometimes you don’t. For the first time in my career, I had to bring on a player [Giovane]. I’d never even seen him in training—a kid who just joined us Saturday. That tells you something about what we’re dealing with right now.
“But we’re not quitting. We know the situation, and we’ll keep pushing. It feels like we’re out at sea in a storm, but we’re not bailing. If someone wants to jump ship, fine—they can swim to shore. The rest of us are staying on board, ready to fight with everything we’ve got, whatever comes our way.”
