AC Milan forward Santiago Gimenez shared an interesting story about veteran midfielder Luka Modric, who bought iPhones for everyone in the team after his arrival from Real Madrid.

Former Italy striker Antonio Cassano has criticised the quality of Serie A, claiming that only the passion of the supporters is keeping the league alive while the level of football in Italy has stagnated.
