The midfielder has gone on to win
two Champions League titles, while
he has also tasted success in the Club
World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, Spanish
Super Cup and Copa del Rey.

A league title in Spain has proved
elusive for Modric, however, with
Madrid having last won the league
title back in the 2011-12 campaign.
Zinedine Zidane's side will be
confident of breaking that five-year
duck this season however, with
Madrid having a game in hand over
their rivals with 12 matches in total
left to play.
Speaking to the club's official website
after being presented with his
commemorative '200' shirt, Modric
said: "I'm very happy and proud to be
part of this great club.
The race for the Golden Shoe
"It means a lot to me. I hope I can
play 200 more games, win lots of
titles and give our fans a lot of joy.
"I believe that I've improved a lot as
a player and a person, because being
surrounded by great players on a daily
basis helps your development out on
the pitch.
"I'm pleased, and now I have to keep
giving my all for Real Madrid."
