The clash against Arsenal was Luka Modrić's 133rd appearance for Real Madrid in the European Cup. The figure means he moves into second place on the club's all-time appearances list in the competition, alongside Karim Benzema, edging clear of Raúl González (132). Only Iker Casillas, with 152 appearances, now sits ahead of the midfielder.
Of his 133 Real Madrid games in the top continental competition, 84 have ended in victory, while he's drawn 23 and lost 26. Following today's fixture, our captain also equalled Benzema and Manuel Neuer in 7th place on the tournament's all-time appearances list for any club (152). Modrić is already a legend of the European Cup, as one of only five players to have got his hands on the title on six occasions, having won in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022 and 2024.
