Luka Modrić has officially become the most decorated player in Real Madrid’s illustrious history, winning his 27th trophy with the club after the UEFA Super Cup victory over Atalanta. The victory in Warsaw, highlighted by goals from Federico Valverde and debutant Kylian Mbappe, also signalled Modrić’s solo rise to the top of Real Madrid’s trophy tally. His 77th-minute appearance in the game was symbolic, surpassing the record he shared with Nacho Fernandez.
Since joining Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur in 2012, Modrić has been a beacon of resilience and skill, embodying the club’s winning spirit. With 535 appearances, 39 goals and 86 assists, his transformation from a late bloomer at Tottenham to the most successful player in Real Madrid’s history reads like a footballing fairytale.
Modrić’s trophy cabinet spans an incredible array of titles, including La Liga, the Copa del Rey, the UEFA Champions League and the Club World Cup. This UEFA Super Cup victory marks his fifth, tying him with Dani Carvajal and adding another chapter to his storied career.
At a club where icons such as Zinedine Zidane, Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos have left legacies, Modrić is now celebrated for his talent on the pitch and his unparalleled contributions to Real Madrid’s trophy cabinet.
