Luka Modrić has made history by excelling in a category where no other footballer in Europe’s top five leagues has managed to do so this season.

The Madrid derby between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid ended in a 1:1 draw, but it was not without its controversies. Atletico fans threw lighters at Thibaut Courtois, causing a 15-minute interruption in the match. There were even discussions about possibly abandoning the game entirely, but it eventually resumed.

Among the key players for Real was Luka Modrić. The Croatian captain delivered yet another stellar performance, with one particular statistic standing out above the rest.

Modrić became the first player in Europe’s top five leagues this season to achieve a remarkable 100% pass accuracy. In the Madrid derby, Modrić completed all 58 of his attempted passes without a single error, further cementing his legendary status in world football.
