Luka Modric has made history by becoming the seventh oldest goalscorer in Copa del Rey history, scoring his first-ever goal in the competition at the age of 39 years and three months during a match against Deportiva Minera.
This milestone not only highlights Modric’s impressive longevity in professional football but also adds to his accolades, as he recently became Real Madrid’s oldest goalscorer, surpassing the previous record held by Ferenc Puskas.
The record for the oldest goalscorer in Copa del Rey history is held by Juan Jose Camacho, who scored at the age of 40 in 2005. Modric’s continued excellence on the pitch reflects his dedication and skill, proving that age is just a number in the world of football.
