Modric scored the winning goal without his old age, becoming the oldest midfielder in Serie A

40-year-old Croatian player, the "evergreen tree" of football, Modric made it to Serie A this season, and his performance on the court is still not old. He scored his first goal in the Serie A in the early morning of Monday (15th), leading AC Milan to defeat Bologna 1-0 at home. Modric also became the oldest midfielder in Serie A history.

AC Milan controlled the scene in this game, but AC Milan's multiple shots were blocked by the goal frame. It seems that AC Milan was not lucky in this game. The only goal in the game was in the 61st minute of the game. Modric received a cross from Salmax and scored the ball in the first time. At the end of the game, AC Milan coach Allegri was expelled from the court due to excessive complaints, but AC Milan won without any resistance.

Modric scored at the age of 40 and 5 days, becoming the oldest midfielder in Serie A history. The old record is still maintained by AC Milan legend Gunnar Nordahl (38 years old and 169 days). Modric is also the sixth player in Serie A history to score a goal at the age of 40. Modric played 90 minutes in this game, and after the game Modric was selected as the best player.
