Petržalka's Modric Wins Hearts: Besiktas Fans Chant for Slovak Player

Bratislava, Slovakia – A heartwarming moment unfolded recently at a local football match, capturing the attention of fans and media alike. Dominik Gašparovič, midfielder for Slovakian club FC Petržalka, found himself at the center of an unexpected display of admiration from a group of visiting Besiktas supporters. During a break in play, fans of the Turkish giant Besiktas, present in the stands, began chanting the name of their club, seemingly in recognition of Gašparovič, whom they affectionately dubbed “Petržalský Modrič” (Petržalka’s Modric) – a nod to the Croatian football maestro Luka Modric. Gašparovič, wearing his number 93 jersey, responded with a wide smile and claps, acknowledging the enthusiastic chants. The interaction was captured and shared by FC Petržalka’s official TikTok profile, quickly gaining traction. When asked about the experience, Gašparovič expressed his delight, stating, “It felt great. It's one of the best moments.” The spontaneous show of support from international fans highlights the universal language of football and the surprising connections it can forge across borders.
