Ferenc Puskas joined Real Madrid at 31—overweight and out of shape—but through determination and talent, he scored 242 goals, revolutionizing the team and his own legacy.
Puskas had not played for two years due to a FIFA ban and was doubting his own potential; however, his left foot became a transformative tool for Real Madrid.
At 39, Puskas played his last game, embodying resilience; similarly, Luka Modric, once again called upon during difficult moments, showcases how experience can turn the tide.
Under coach Luis Carniglia, Puskas's arrival was uncertain, but club president Santiago Bernabeu's faith in him laid the foundation for future success in European football.
