Croatia captain Luka Modric was awarded the UEFA Player of the Match award for his country's 1-1 draw with Italy .
Modric scored a penalty after Davide Frattesi was fouled by referee Danny Makkelie in the first half .
The Real Madrid man of the match was given his chance to carry Croatia further into the tournament.
Croatia captain says he'll keep playing on, but "I don't know for how much longer" Modric told ESPN that he would like to play for Real Madrid for another season.
Don't talk of the end of a Golden Generation . That's what they said when the 1998 Croatia team, the World Cup semifinalists, began to fade. And then what happened? This generation, the one of Modric , of Ivan Perisic and Ivan Rakitic , of Mario Mandžuki and Domagoj Vida emerged. The torch is ready be passed, Josko Gvardiol is ready to receive it. But memo to Modric : If you want to pass on the torch, we'll understand. Nobody will think less of you. But after what you went through, you don't want to go out like this.
