Luka Modric Makes History as Real Madrid’s Oldest Player: “I’m Very Proud”

In a memorable moment for Real Madrid, midfielder Luka Modric became the oldest player to feature for the club, breaking a long-standing record previously held by Ferenc Puskas. The 39-year-old captain took the field against Celta Vigo at Balaidos, marking a significant milestone in his illustrious career.

Reflecting on this achievement, Modric expressed pride in his record while humorously acknowledging his age. “I don’t like being reminded about my age, but it’s really impressive. I’m very proud to have achieved this record and to continue playing for the best club in the world,” he remarked in a post-match interview.

When asked to share his proudest moments at Real Madrid, Modric found it challenging to choose just one. “It is very difficult for me to choose just one thing out of all the things that have happened to me at Real Madrid – signing for the club, winning Champions Leagues and La Liga titles, and now being the oldest player with the most titles,” he said.

Despite this personal success, Modric emphasized the importance of the team’s collective effort moving forward. “I feel good physically and mentally. I am playing, and that is what I want. The most important thing is the team, and when it is my turn, I always try to give my best,” he added.

Looking ahead, Modric recognized the challenges that lie ahead for Real Madrid in La Liga and the Champions League. “We have a lot of quality, but that alone is not enough. We have to give more, like today, when we gave everything.”
