Kylian Mbappe realises Real Madrid co-star Luka Modric has more major titles to his name than his own age in hilarious dressing room moment after Intercontinental Cup triumph

At 39, Modrić continues to defy expectations with his longevity and remarkable influence on the field. Over the years, he has amassed six European Cups, cementing his place in history as a key player in Real Madrid’s dominance on the continental stage. Additionally, his trophy cabinet includes six FIFA Club World Cups, five European Super Cups, four La Liga championships, two Copa del Rey titles, and five Spanish Super Cups.

Modric is officially Real Madrid’s most decorated player, with 28 titles after the latest Intercontinental triumph, an honour he holds with pride. He is trailed by teammates Dani Carvajal, who boasts 27 trophies, and Nacho Fernández, with 26 titles. Club legends Marcelo and Karim Benzema, each with 25 trophies, complete the top five.

During celebrations, a candid moment between Modric and Mbappe highlighted the awe inspired by the Croatian’s achievements. As a cameraman noted that the club skipper had secured his 28th major title, Mbappe, who celebrated his 26th birthday on Friday, reacted with a mixture of admiration and surprise. “More than my age,” he remarked with a smile. “Let’s hope to win another one for him and for all the others who are here.”

Whereas, reflecting on his latest triumph, Modric expressed immense pride. “It’s a unique feeling,” he told the club's official media.

"We already did it in the last title, in the Super Cup. This title is very important and I'm very happy to win it for the sixth time. It's a unique feeling to win titles with Real Madrid. I hope it gives us confidence for what's next because there are a lot of games ahead of us. A very demanding season."

Modric’s next opportunity to add to his already staggering tally of trophies will come in January 2025, when Real Madrid compete in the Supercopa de Espana. However, before that, he will focus on continuing his excellent form as Real Madrid prepare to face Sevilla this Sunday in a La Liga fixture.
