Harry Kane leads the 2025-26 Gündogan Awards, honoring players gracefully defying age after joining Bayern Munich for a record €95 million transfer. At 33, Kane averages 1.48 goals and assists per 90, with 31 Bundesliga goals and 11 in Champions League play.

Luka Modric, at an incredible 40 years old, continues to dominate Serie A, ranking second in touches and passes while leading in ball recoveries with 177. The midfielder has started 30 of AC Milan's 32 matches, averaging 84.5 minutes per appearance.

Alexia Putellas, Barcelona's 2021-22 Ballon d'Or winner, has returned to elite form with six goals and six assists in eight Champions League matches. She ranks third on Barcelona in Liga F scoring despite playing as a midfielder.

These athletes prove age remains just a number as they deliver career-best performances when younger peers might be slowing down.
