Luka Modric, star player for Real Madrid, expressed his pride after breaking two club records.
When he started Saturday’s LaLiga encounter against Celta Vigo, Modric became Real Madrid’s oldest player to ever play in a competitive match.
The 39-year-old midfielder from Croatia broke the mark set by club great Ferenc Puskás in 1966.
Additionally, Modric became the oldest player in Madrid history to win most titles.
Modric, speaking to Fabrizio Romano following the game, said:
As the club’s all-time leading scorer and oldest player, it’s an honor to be remembered in Real Madrid lore.
“I am filled with joy and pride for all that Real Madrid has accomplished.”
