After going in level at half-time, Milan have jumped out to a 3-1 lead against mid-table side Torino at San Siro.

Milan's two-goal advantage will feel particularly sweet for Luka Modrić as Saturday's match marks a huge milestone for the midfield legend.

After 13 incredibly successful seasons at Real Madrid and super spells with Tottenham and Dinamo Zagreb prior, Modrić joined Milan last summer.

And at the age of 40, the Croatian has become a fixture in the Rossoneri's midfield, making 29 Serie A appearances since arriving.

As a result, Modrić has now reached a remarkable 550 appearances in Europe's Big 5 leagues since his Tottenham debut in the 2008/09 season. Only Atlético Madrid's Antoine Griezmann has made more (555).

So, where do you think Modrić ranks among football's midfield greats?
