Luka Modric Makes History as Real Madrid\u2019s Oldest Player: \u201cI\u2019m Very Proud\u201d<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on this achievement, Modric expressed pride in his record while humorously acknowledging his age. \u201cI don\u2019t like being reminded about my age, but it\u2019s really impressive. I\u2019m very proud to have achieved this record and to continue playing for the best club in the world,\u201d he remarked in a post-match interview.<\/p>\n
When asked to share his proudest moments at Real Madrid, Modric found it challenging to choose just one. \u201cIt is very difficult for me to choose just one thing out of all the things that have happened to me at Real Madrid \u2013 signing for the club, winning Champions Leagues and La Liga titles, and now being the oldest player with the most titles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Despite this personal success, Modric emphasized the importance of the team\u2019s collective effort moving forward. \u201cI 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,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, Modric recognized the challenges that lie ahead for Real Madrid in La Liga and the Champions League. \u201cWe have a lot of quality, but that alone is not enough. We have to give more, like today, when we gave everything.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
