Luka Modric has become the most decorated player in Real Madrid’s illustrious history, with the Croatian savouring his 27th trophy.

Modric, who won the Ballon d’Or in 2018, joined Los Blancos from Premier League side Tottenham in 2012 and went on to make more than 530 appearances for the Spanish giants, helping them win a remarkable collection of major honours.

Their last success came in the 2024 UEFA Super Cup, when Carlo Ancelotti’s side beat Atalanta 2-0. New ‘Galactico’ Kylian Mbappe scored in that encounter as the current Champions League crown holders lifted another trophy.

An incredible track record

Modric was the man who lifted the trophy – his first as Real captain. He now has more winners’ medals than any other Real player. His haul includes five UEFA Super Cups, six Champions Leagues, five FIFA Club World Cups, four La Liga titles, two Copas del Rey and five Spanish Super Cups.

The 38-year-old is now ahead of former Real captain Nacho, who left the Santiago Bernabeu as a free agent this summer. Euro 2024 winner Dani Carvajal also has 26 wins to his name, while Karim Benzema and Marcelo have 25 each.
