Modric becomes most-capped Croatia player of all time
The Real Madrid midfielder broke the record previously held by longtime Shakhtar Donetsk defender Darijo Srna
Luka Modric became the most-capped Croatia player of all time with his start against Cyprus in a World Cup qualifier.
Modric equalled Darijo Srna's record earlier this week and he passed the defender's mark on Saturday by making his 135th appearance for his country.
The Real Madrid midfielder has become one of his country's greatest ever players since earning his first cap in March 2006.
After making his debut in 2006, Modric has gone on to play 135 times for Croatia, scoring 16 goals while playing at three European Championship and three World Cups.
The midfielder's finest hour came in 2018 when he led Croatia to their first World Cup final, where they fell short in a 4-2 defeat to France.
For his efforts, though, Modric won the Golden Ball as the World Cup's top player and would later win the Ballon d'Or.
