Croatian star Luka Modric has reached a new milestone in his illustrious career with Real Madrid, leading the team to victory in the Intercontinental Cup at Lusail Stadium against Mexican side Pachuca.

This title marks Modric's second as captain of the team this season, following his UEFA Super Cup win in August. With this latest achievement, Modric has become the most decorated player in Real Madrid’s history, boasting an impressive total of 28 titles.

Modric’s Historic Achievement with Real Madrid in the Intercontinental Cup

Modric’s journey with Real Madrid began in the summer of 2012 when he joined from Tottenham Hotspur. Since then, he has established himself as one of the club’s greatest players.

Modric’s influence has extended beyond his technical skills and strategic vision on the field; his leadership and consistency have made him a respected figure within the club.

His trophy collection includes six UEFA Champions League titles, six FIFA Club World Cups, five UEFA Super Cups, four La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey trophies, and five Spanish Super Cups, reflecting Real Madrid's dominance during his time at the club.

At 39, Modric continues to defy age with exceptional performances. His ability to control games with his brilliant passing and tactical awareness remains a key factor in Real Madrid’s success.

Modric leads the list of the club’s most decorated players with 28 titles, followed by Dani Carvajal with 27, Nacho with 26, and club legends Marcelo and Karim Benzema, both with 25 titles.
