The captain of the Croatian national team, Luka Modrić, is also among the select group of footballers with five Champions League titles to his name. Some players from the squad, such as Karim Benzema, Dani Carvajal, Nacho Fernández, Marcelo, Isco, Casemiro, and Gareth Bale added the 5th Champions League trophy to their showcase, after winning the first one in 2014 in Lisbon. Likewise, Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti became the first coach in history to win four Champions League titles, two with AC Milan (2002-03 and 2006-07) and two with Real Madrid (2013-14 and 2021-22). This way, the team from the Spanish capital achieved its 14th European Cup in its history, greatly lengthening the difference with the rest of the continent's clubs.

Before their Champions League quarter final with Chelsea, Real Madrid fans unveiled a tifo with the captain 'Don't play with the kings of Europe'.

Numbers aside however, Modric has dealt with the demands of a long season as well as many a decade his junior. That will take the Croatian into his 11th season with Real Madrid and make him 37 years old by the time it expires. However as Marca have reported, Modric will extend his deal with the club for a further season.

And this last ten years of fame isn’t the only Croatian glory in the Champions League, some other legends of the game have also picked up the most coveted trophy in world football. A truly incredible run of results for Croatia and Croatian football. A year later, Luka Modrić and Real Madrid celebrated, followed by Ivan Rakitic and Barcelona.

Modric won a fifth Champions League trophy last night almost 15 years on since he was dubbed "too weak" to play for Newcastle.

A difficult start to life at the Bernabeu saw the Croatian named the worst signing of the season in a Marca poll - claiming 32% of the vote. Mr Jimenez said ‘I’ve watched him, I don’t think he is big enough or strong enough to play in the Premier League.’ That was the end of that, he killed it stone-dead.” There were some other teams that the people who took care of me were telling me about, but they didn't mention Newcastle.” Toon supporters were robbed of the opportunity to witness midfield greatness in a black-and-white shirt. Then Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan lambasted Tony Jimenez - the Magpies’ failed former vice president - at a talk-in event in 2018. In 2008, Newcastle United overlooked signing arguably the greatest midfielder of his generation.
