Maldini reveals Luka Modric's place in Real Madrid's history

In a club as historic as Real Madrid, it is challenging to leave a legacy that endures over the years. With few players having achieved this feat, Luka Modric has made his greatness even more evident. Following the announcement of his departure from Real Madrid, Modric retires as one of the greatest legends in the club's history.

However, given the number of legends Real Madrid has, there is doubt about the place he would occupy on a list. "Behind Cristiano and Di Stéfano, but close to Toni Kroos," were Maldini's words to reveal Modric's position. Recognizing the importance he has had at Real Madrid, Maldini has placed him in a high position.

"At least among the top five, for everything he has done," added Maldini to finalize the position where he would leave Modric. Without being the most important player in Real Madrid's history, Luka Modric has still managed to leave a great legacy.

Maldini's position

At 39 years old, Luka Modric gave the news that no Madridist wanted to hear this season. After 13 seasons at Real Madrid, Modric will say goodbye to Santiago Bernabéu this Saturday. A very special match where the fans will take the opportunity to bid farewell to a player who has made history at Real Madrid.

Achieving several feats during his time at Real Madrid, Maldini was quite clear about the position he would occupy in a historical ranking. Despite not reaching other legends like Cristiano, Modric made enough merits to be one of the best.

This speaks very well of everything Modric achieved at Real Madrid, being an essential player for all recent successes. Moreover, Maldini's words reflect the deep respect for Modric, a unique player who will never be seen again.
