The Wales captain Gareth Bale has said he would love to “get one over” on his Croatia counterpart and Real Madrid teammate Luka Modric at the fourth time of asking when the pair duel on Sunday. Bale has described the meeting in Cardiff as a humongous match with Ryan Giggs’s side fourth in Group E, six points behind leaders Croatia with three games to play. “Whenever we have played we’ve always lost by one goal and it’s always been quite a tight game,” Bale said. We’ve played together for a long time in Tottenham and Real Madrid so we know each other quite well. “They are a fantastic team with brilliant individuals, but we are a good team as well,” Giggs said.
