Real Madrid is a club built on legends, and when it comes to those who wore the white shirt the most, the numbers speak volumes. Here’s the list of the top 10 players with the most appearances in Real Madrid history:
- Raúl – 741 games
- Iker Casillas – 725 games
- Manolo Sanchís – 710 games
- Sergio Ramos – 671 games
- Karim Benzema – 648 games
- Santillana – 645 games
- Fernando Hierro – 601 games
- Paco Gento – 596 games
- Luka Modrić – 590 games
- José Antonio Camacho – 577 games
Now let’s talk about number 9—Luka Modrić.
After 13 glittering years, the Croatian maestro bows out as not just a midfield general, but a Real Madrid immortal. Modrić didn’t just show up for 590 games, he commanded them. He became the conductor of the Bernabéu orchestra, setting the rhythm, dictating the play, and delivering trophies.
With 28 titles to his name, he is the most decorated player in Real Madrid’s history. Champions Leagues, La Ligas, Copa del Reys, Spanish Super Cup—you name it, he’s won it.
And in 2018, he did something unheard of in the modern era: broke the 10-year Ballon d’Or dominance of Messi and Ronaldo. That golden ball wasn’t just an award, it was a tribute to intelligence, patience, humility, and technical perfection.
Modrić leaves behind more than numbers and medals. He leaves behind an era. An era of calm in chaos. Of class in competition. Of grace in greatness. Gracias, Luka. You didn’t just play for Real Madrid—you became part of its soul.
