The time I never wanted to come, but that&#8217;s football and life, everything has a beginning and an end&#8230; On Saturday, I&#8217;ll play my last game at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u,&#8221; he wrote on his social media accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I arrived in 2012 hoping to wear the shirt of the best team in the world and the ambition to do great things, but I couldn&#8217;t have imagined what came next. Playing for Real Madrid has changed my life as a footballer and as a person. I&#8217;m proud to have been part of one of the most successful eras of the greatest club in history,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modric also thanked Real Madrid president Florentino P\u00e9rez and his teammates, coaches, and mostly fans.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-163-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1895662\" style=\"width:691px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-163-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-163-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-163-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-163-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-163-430x286.webp 430w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-163-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-163.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve won everything, and I&#8217;ve been very happy.

We will meet again. Real Madrid will always be my home. For life. Hala Madrid and nothing else,&#8221; the Croatian player concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modric joined Real Madrid from Tottenham in 2012 and will leave in 2025 as the player with the most titles in the club&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He collected 28 trophies: 6 Champions Leagues, 6 Club World Cups, 5 European Super Cups, 4 Leagues, 2 King&#8217;s Cups and 5 Spanish Super Cups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modric was also awarded the highest individual award, the Ballon d&#8217;Or, in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the retirement of Toni Kroos in 2024, the Croatian extended his contract with Real Madrid for another season, becoming the oldest player to play for the club, surpassing Ferenc Pusk\u00e1s (39 years and 40 days).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is also the oldest goalscorer and a top 10 player with the most official appearances with 590, ten short of Paco Gento&#8217;s 600 in eighth place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite a change in his role at Real Madrid, from being an untouchable in a legendary midfield with Toni Kroos to alternating starts with more substitutions, Modric surpassed his record for games in a year this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He played in 56 games, three more than in his first season, 2012-2013. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/efe.com\/\/srv\/htdocs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/rss-efee6a9b7486e308ac5f97108ef9db0d05b73c4e274w.webp?fit=1920%2C1280&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"(FILE) Real Madrid's Croatian midfielder Luka Modric as he celebrates with his teammates a goal against Villarreal CF at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium Dec. 16, 2023.
