FIFA World Cup: On the night when Luka Modric made history by becoming the oldest player to score in the European Championship, Italy scored a 90+7 minute equaliser to put Croatia's campaign on the brink of elimination in heartbreaking fashion.

Following the game Luka, one of the greatest midfielders of this generation described his emotions and feelings about the exit and labeled the beautiful game as 'merciless and cruel'.

"We kept battling right until the end but unfortunately football was merciless with us tonight, it was cruel. Above all today but also in our other most recent match when we conceded two late goals.But that’s part and parcel of football. Often it gives you plenty of smiles but on other occasions it makes you very sad as it did today," said a heartbroken Modric to reporters in the post game press conference.
