Analysis: Modric sent in the second-most crosses for Croatia in his last World Cup game in the career. The midfielder co-led his side in chances created as well, while taking four of their five corner kicks. He finished the competition with one assist, seven chances created and 11 crosses in four starts.
Exceptional in win
Modric assisted once to go with four crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 win over Ghana.
Analysis: Modric continues to be hugely influential for Croatia, providing the game‑winning assist to Nikola Vlasic in the 2-1 victory over Ghana. The 40‑year‑old has remained a constant presence in the starting XI, opening all three group‑stage matches and delivering the level of control expected from him. He completed 178 passes with a 91 percent accuracy rate, created five chances, won four tackles, and made seven recoveries, showcasing both his composure and work rate. Modric will remain a central figure for Croatia as they enter the knockout rounds, anchoring the midfield with his experience and vision.
