Clearly, his beautiful story with Real Madrid continues to get better day by day. Arriving in 2012 in the Iberian capital, Luka Modric had surely never imagined becoming such a legend in one of the most prestigious clubs in the world. Finally, for 13 years, the Croatian environment has been an essential element for the Merengues. This season, aged 39, the 2018 Ballon d’Or continues to be important in Carlo Ancelotti’s group despite playing time at half mast.
His impact is always felt during his entries, as can be seen by his important goal yesterday to equalize at the end of the match against Valencia (1-2). An achievement which allows him to make even more history at the White House by becoming Real Madrid’s oldest scorer in official competition ahead of Ferenc Puskás (39 years and 116 days compared to 39 years and 15 days for the Hungarian legend). A record which delights the person concerned, who spoke to the club media after the meeting: “It’s always nice to break records. Reaching this number of matches and matching legends like Pirri and Míchel is a source of pride. We must continue.»
