The best players in Croatian history
Luka Modric

Davor Suker

Zvonimir Boban
The captain of that spectacular generation of the World Cup in France 1998 and the man who left for history that kick to a policeman in 1990 that for many was the prelude to the Balkan War. Best Croatian player among 1991 y 1999, was key in that Sacchi Milan.
Robert Prosinecki
Prosi was another of those key players in the post-war generation of the Balkans who left such a pleasant image and left so much in the England Eurocup 1996 like in France 1998. Prosinecki played 2 Different World Cups with two different teams.
Ivan Rakitic
Another of the pearls of Croatian football and an important part of the generation led by Luka Modric. Subcampeón del mundo en 2018, has played in 2 Mundiales (2014 y 2018) y 4 Eurocopas (2008, 2012, 2016 y 2021). Qatar 2022 It will be his third World Cup. It just so happens that Rakitic was born in Switzerland and came to play with the lower teams of the Swiss country.
