With his appearance in the 2022 World Cup qualifier against Slovenia on Wednesday, Luka Modric added another historic achievement to his illustrious resume as he became the joint-most capped player in his country's history.
By starting on Wednesday evening, Modric earned his 134th senior cap for Croatia, moving him level with longtime Shakhtar Donetsk fullback Darijo Srna.
With Croatia set for two more games in the next six days, it is likely that the record may be Modric's alone in the very near future.
