King of Santiago Bernabeu! Luka Modric becomes most-decorated player in Real Madrid's history with 27 titles

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

WHAT HAPPENED?
Modric, who won the Ballon d’Or in 2018, joined the Blancos from Premier League side Tottenham in 2012. He has gone on to take in over 530 appearances for the Spanish giants, helping them to a remarkable collection of major honours.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
His latest success came in the 2024 UEFA Super Cup, as Carlo Ancelotti’s side saw off Atalanta 2-0. New ‘Galactico’ Kylian Mbappe was on target in that contest, as the current holders of the Champions League crown picked up another piece of silverware.
