Named the world’s best player in 2018, “getting involved” in the Messi-Cristiano Ronaldo rivalry, Luka Modric continues to make history, now also in Italy.

At 39 years and 354 days, the Croatian star became the oldest midfielder to assist in Italy’s Serie A, according to data from Opta, which has been tracking this statistic since the 2004/05 season.

In the match against Lecce, on Friday (29), for the second round of the 2025/26 Italian Championship season, Modric assisted Loftus-Cheek to open the scoring for Milan in a 2 x 0 victory over Lecce, away from home, showing that age is just a number.

He arrived as a heavy reinforcement and for free, in July, after making history at Real Madrid, and is already leaving his mark in Italy. A true artist with the ball at his feet.
