With Real Madrid’s victory in the UEFA Super Cup, defeating Atalanta 2-0, Luka Modrić has officially become the most successful player in the club’s history.
The Croatian international came on as a substitute in the 76th minute, replacing Rodrygo, and was the one to lift the trophy after becoming Real Madrid’s new captain this season.
By winning the Super Cup, Modrić has become the player with the most titles in Real Madrid’s history, with 27 trophies, breaking the tie with former captain Nacho Fernández who left for Al-Qadsiah this summer.
The 39-year-old has won the Champions League six times, La Liga four times, the UEFA Super Cup five times, and the same number of Spanish Super Cups, along with two Copa del Rey titles and four FIFA Club World Cups.
Modrić has also become the joint-most decorated player in the history of the UEFA Super Cup with Dani Carvajal, both having won the title five times.
It’s worth noting that the Croatian’s contract with Real Madrid is still valid until the end of this season after he turned down numerous offers to leave and chose to renew and take a pay cut to stay at the Santiago Bernabéu.
