Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, together with Casemiro, were a legendary midfield trio at Real Madrid, and in the eyes of many, the best link in history.
With Casemiro's departure to Manchester United, Marca published two exclusive and emotional letters in which the players say goodbye to their friend after seven seasons together.
Toni Cross' letter
"With you friend, it was impossible not to sweat... in any situation. Because you wouldn't let us relax even in the Turkish bath. Staying there was agony: you told someone to come, and you almost had exercise bikes and weights ready there. Something for the new friends Yours is worth knowing, because with you even the Turkish bath was a gym... and you only allow people to lie down when it's time to do sit-ups."
"I'm going to miss you. As an exemplary professional, a top player, as a fighter who saved me many times... but, above all, as a good person. We made history, man! What a legendary time. Now our sports paths are separate, but our friendship remains. I promise ".

Luka Modric's letter
"Dear friend, I still remember your debut in our club... how nervous you were! I asked you to be calm and now I think about it and see how it turned out. What did you achieve. It was also my first season and no one He could not imagine what awaits us. You became a true leader. You were there for your teammates and for Real Madrid. We will always remember that."
"We won a lot together, but I keep the moments that no one sees. With the daily work, and especially with the jokes, because you were always in a good mood, even in stressful moments or when there were failures. Those laughs with you gave me peace of mind. I will miss you, but I wish you the best. This is what a professional and a person like you deserves."
What a journey!
