Both players now boast five Super Cup titles, surpassing football legends such as Dani Alves, Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos, and Paolo Maldini, who each had four.
Additionally, Carvajal and Modrić set a new record with six appearances in the competition since the format changed in 1997, further cementing their legendary status.
Carlo Ancelotti also reached a new milestone, becoming the most successful coach in Super Cup history with five wins.
Ancelotti, who previously won the title twice with AC Milan in 2003 and 2007, and twice with Real Madrid in 2014 and 2022, has now added a fifth title to his illustrious career. He surpasses Pep Guardiola, who won the trophy with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City.
