With his participation in the England-Croatia match, Luka Modric has just joined the select club of players who have participated in five World Cups. The former Madrid player, 40 years old, remember, also played in five European Championships.
Luka thus joins the select group of players (10) with the most appearances in World Cup history (20), still far from the 27 that Lionel Messi has, the record man in this sense (and in almost all of them). Modric has the 20 games of Cafú, Schweinsteiger, Neuer, Lahm, Mascherano, Lloris, Griezmann and Lato. Luke. LM was runner-up in Russia 2018 and took third place in Qatar 2022
The ‘Legend’ patch on Modric’s shirt.
Modric, who is also the player with the most titles in the history of Real Madrid (28, with six Champions Leagues included), participated in 2006, failed in 2010 (Croatia did not qualify) and then has another four from 2014 until now. If it doesn’t happen in 2010, it would have the six of Messi, Cristiano and Memo Ochoa.
Let us remember that, apart from those three (Lionel, CR7 and Memo), the other seven with five World Cups are Luka himself, the Mexicans Carbajal, Rafa Márquez and Andrés Guardado, the Italian Buffon, the German Neuer (still in play) and the German Lothar Matthäus.
