Modric, now 39, continues to defy age with his enduring performances. Despite nearing the twilight of his career, his influence on the pitch remains undeniable.
His ability to control the game with his exceptional passing and tactical awareness has been instrumental in Real Madrid’s continued success.

As he continues to add to his legacy, his name will forever be remembered as one of the greatest players in the history of Real Madrid.
