They have wanted to retire him for years. Thank God that they did this to him.
The captain of the Croatian national football team, Luka Modrić, once again entered the history books of the Royal Club in golden letters.
Real Madrid won against Celta Vigo 2:1, and Vatreni captain Luka Modrić’s historic moment happened in the 63rd minute when he entered the game instead of Valverde. At 39 years and 40 days, he became the oldest player in Real Madrid’s shirt in the official match. He surpassed Ferenc Puskas‘ previous record from 1966.
Just three minutes after entering the field, Modrić assisted Vinicius Junior for the winning goal, thus once again confirming his inexhaustible quality and important role in the Royal club’s ranks.
