It has been six years since Luka Modric checked in at Real Madrid. Since his arrival on 27 August 2012, the Croatian schemer has been an instrumental figure in one of the most successful periods in the club's history. His impressive trophy haul speaks volumes of the role he's played: he has claimed no fewer than 14 trophies as a madridista (four Champions League crowns, three Club World Cups, three UEFA Super Cups, a LaLiga title, one Copa del Rey and two Spanish Super Cups).



Modric made his bow two days after his unveiling and quite some debut it was, as Madrid overcome Barcelona to secure the Spanish Super Cup. Since then, he has gone on to make 260 appearances for Real Madrid and has netted 13 goals, most of which have come from distance. The man honoured with the Golden Ball at the Russia World Cup is also an expert at providing assists. One example of his ability to tee up his teammates is the unforgettable corner he delivered for Ramos to score in Décima final. Modric celebrates his sixth year at the club and is intent on continuing to etch his name into the Whites' history books.
