Real Madrid's midfielder maestro, Luka Modric, made history in the Champions League semi-final first leg clash against Bayern Munich, surpassing a record previously held by club legend Ferenc Puskas.

At 38 years and 234 days old, Modric became the oldest player to grace a Champions League match in a Real Madrid jersey, overtaking Puskas' record set in 1965.

Modric's milestone moment came when he was subbed in during the 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena, replacing England's Jude Bellingham in the 75th minute.

Despite not being a regular starter under manager Carlo Ancelotti this season, the Croatian international's impact on the pitch has been undeniable, with an impressive track record of 528 appearances for Real Madrid, netting 39 goals and providing 84 assists across all competitions.

As Madrid gears up for the return leg against Bayern, Modric's experience and prowess could prove crucial in their quest for Champions League glory.

Stay tuned as the football world witnesses this living legend continue to defy age and rewrite the record books on Europe's grandest stage.
