Real Madrid star to shatter club record this season that's been in place since 1966, nobody thought it was possible

A long-standing record at Real Madrid is set to be broken during the 24/25 season.

After winning both the La Liga and Champions League during the 23/24 campaign, Madrid have been busy in the transfer window.

Los Blancos finally managed to secure the signature of French superstar Kylian Mbappe, whose move to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium was confirmed last month.

In addition, the new season will see the arrival of Brazilian wonderkid Endrick, who was signed back in 2022.

Ahead of the new campaign, it was also confirmed that veteran midfielder Luka Modric had signed a new deal, which would keep him in Madrid until next summer.

A club statement read: “Real Madrid C. F. and Luka Modrić have agreed to extend the contract of our captain, who will be linked to the club until 30 June 2025.

“Modrić arrived at Real Madrid in 2012, and in his twelve seasons representing our shirt he has become a Real Madrid and world football legend.”

The 39-year-old is already the oldest player to play for Madrid in both the league and the European Cup. However, the Croatian is now eyeing another record.

Modric could become the oldest player to ever play a match for Madrid, breaking the legendary Ferenc Puskas’ record of 39 years and 38 days which was set back in May of 1966.

If things go well, Modric could break the 58-year record on October 19 or 20 when Madrid take on Celta Vigo at the Balaidos stadium.

Speaking about Modric recently, Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti said: “I've never had a problem with Modric.

“As well as being a top player, one of the best in the world, he's even more spectacular as a person. We've never had a problem, and we never will.”
