Modric surpasses Ferenc Puskas to become the oldest player for Real Madrid

Quick Summary:

Luka Modric became the oldest player in Real Madrid's history while also delivering the game-winning assist in a 2-1 victory at Celta Vigo in La Liga on Saturday.

The Croatia midfielder immediately made an impact when he threaded a through-ball forward for Vincius Jnior to score the 66th-minute winner at Balaidos Stadium.

At 39 years, 40 days old, the former Ballon d'Or winner surpassed the milestone held by Ferenc Puskas since 1966 by four days.
