According to statistics from the entire market network, a total of 4 players in history won the Serie A championship at the age of 40.

Milan and even the entire Serie A audience were convinced by Modric. The 40-year-old veteran, with youthful enthusiasm and fighting spirit, is a key figure in Milan's 2-1 victory over Naples. His outstanding performance greatly enhances Milan's hopes for the Serie A championship. The team relies on him, his organizational rhythm and ability to block pass lines. Modric shoulders a new role tailored - Milan's midfield commander.

Milan's hope for winning the championship is also placed on Modric's shoulders. So, besides Modric, who else won the Serie A championship at the age of 40? Looking back at the history of Serie A, there are four precedents, both of which are from Milan.

The most recent one is Ibrahimovic, who won the Serie A championship with Milan in the 2021/22 season under Pioli, when he was 40 years old.

More than 40 years ago, Milan's legendary goalkeeper Albertosi helped Milan win the Serie A championship in the 1978/79 season, and he turned 40 the year he won the championship.

The other two were from Juventus. Zoff and Buffon won the Serie A championship in 1981/82 and 2017/18 respectively. They were both 40 years old at that time, and Buffon won the Serie A championship again at the age of 42 in the 2019/20 season.
