Qatar World Cup 2022: The legend of Modric only gets bigger
Real Madrid’s Champions League duel against
Inter on Tuesday, a game in which he wore the captain’s armband from the off
for the first time in his Los Blancos career. The midfield trident of Modric,
Toni Kroos, and Casemiro shone once again, with the Croatia football World Cup
squad standing out with his ability to put in quality performances at the age
of 36.

“I feel very good,” said Modric after Real
Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Inter. I think you don’t have to look at the years,
you have to look at what you do on the pitch and the years are less and less
noticeable because careers are prolonged. I feel very good and I feel that I am
younger than 30.”
Despite featuring in one of the most
demanding positions on the pitch, the veteran midfielder has managed to deliver
whenever asked to over the last few seasons. Yet, being an undisputed starter
for Real Madrid at the age of 36 is an accomplishment not many players have
achieved in the past. For more to know about FIFA World Cup Tickets

The first player who managed to be part of
Los Blancos aged 36 was Jose Maria Pena. However, the Spaniard played just four
games for Real Madrid at that age. Meanwhile, neither Lippo Hertzka nor Ipina was
starters at the team despite playing their last games for Real Madrid at just
over the age of 36 year
Club legend Miguel Munoz played his sixth
game of the 1957/58 season at age of 36 years and a month in a European Cup
duel with Vassas before stepping into coaching and winning two EU titles with
the club. Pirri debuted for Real Madrid at the age of 19, won his last trophy
at the age of 35, and retired after a season where he was an undisputed
starter as a libero under Vujadin Boskov,
while Alfredo Di Stefano departed Los Blancos at the age of 37 years and 328
days. Meanwhile, Modric is not expected to become the oldest player to ever
have featured for Real Madrid, as this record is already with another club
legend in Ferenc Puskas, who donned the famous white shirt at the grand old age
of 39 years and 36 days.
