Luka Modric, AC Milan midfielder and former Real Madrid player, revealed a memorable episode from his career at the Spanish club. According to the Croatian midfielder, José Mourinho, who managed Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013, made Cristiano Ronaldo cry in the locker room.

The reason for Ronaldo's tears was a defensive mistake. Mourinho reacted intensely to the Portuguese player's error during a match, which triggered Ronaldo's emotional reaction in the locker room. Modric considered this episode one of his most memorable experiences during his time at Real Madrid.
