"Granada" goalkeeper Javi Marquez chose a very original name for his son, which seems to have been inspired by one of the stars of Madrid's "Real" team. The 29-year-old footballer named his offspring Modric. This news was announced by his club's Twitter account. It reads, "We also congratulate Javi Marquez, whose son Modric was born today. Congratulations, daddy!" Interestingly, Marquez himself was born in Barcelona, where he previously represented the "Espanyol" club.
Felicidades también a Javi Márquez por su hijo Modric que hoy ha venido al mundo ¡Enhorabuena papá!
