Among his 28 titles, Modric has lifted six European Cups, further cementing his status as one of the finest midfielders of his generation.

He has also celebrated six Club World Cups, five European Super Cups, four La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey triumphs, and five Spanish Super Cups.

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.

In the list of Real Madrid’s most decorated players, Modric sits at the very top. He is followed by Dani Carvajal, who has won 27 titles, and Nacho, with 26 titles. Club legends Marcelo and Karim Benzema, both with 25 titles, round out the top five.

Modric’s achievement is a testament to his extraordinary dedication, consistency, and ability to deliver at the highest level.

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.
