Modric's goal in the 2-1 win makes him the club's oldest goalscorer, breaking Ferenc Puskas' previous mark. At 39 years and 116 days, Modric surpasses Puskas - 39 years and 15 days.
He later said, “Breaking records is always nice. To reach that number of games and equal legends like Pirri and Míchel is a source of pride. We have to keep going.
“We showed the incredible character this team has once again, we never stopped believing. We refused to give up and in the end we managed to turn around a really tough game.
"We didn’t look at all comfortable in the first half but we were much better after the break. We were a bit unfortunate with the penalty and the goal chalked off, but we kept the faith and managed to turn it around. These are the wins that can help you win titles.”
