Records
Luka Modrić's trophy cabinet is one of the most decorated in football history. He holds the record for the most trophies won by any Real Madrid player, with 28 major titles. His six Champions League wins are the most by any Croatian player. Individually, his 2018 Ballon d'Or triumph ended the decade-long duopoly of Messi and Ronaldo, a feat that cemented his legacy. He has been named Croatian Footballer of the Year a record 15 times, a testament to his sustained excellence. Modrić is the only player to have won the Golden Ball at a World Cup while captaining his nation to the final, and he followed it with a Bronze Ball in 2022. His leadership in guiding Croatia, a nation of four million, to back-to-back top-three World Cup finishes is a historic achievement.
