Luka Modric broke several records at the 2022 World Cup.
The Real Madrid midfielder came out in the starting lineup in the group stage match of the 2022 World Cup Morocco - Croatia (0:0, break).
Thanks to this, the 37-year-old captain of the Croatian national team became the first player in history to play in both the World Cup and the European Championship in three different decades.
Modric took part in the European Championships in 2008, 2012, 2016 (3 matches each) and 2020 (4 matches). At the World Championships, Luca played in 2006 (2 matches), 2014 (3 matches), 2018 (7 matches) and 2022 (1 match).
Thus, Modric is the Croatian record holder for matches in major tournaments advised by soccer-stats (26 games at the World Cup and Euro) and the first Croatian to play in four world championships.
