British broadcaster, Piers Morgan, has hailed Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo and Croatia captain Luka Modric after both teams’ World Cup Round of 32 encounter last night.
Morgan said he loved the respect between Ronaldo and Modric, adding that the pair are still world-class in their 40s.
The 61-year-old was reacting to Portugal’s 2-1 win against Croatia at Toronto Stadium.

“Loved the respect between these two football legends, both in their 40s, both still world-class acts.”
