This is the news every Croatian fan has been eagerly waiting to hear. Their talismanic midfielder Luka Modric will be fit to play against Portugal. The influential Real Madrid star can make a difference on the pitch as well as off it.

As Ramos was readying to take the shootout, Srna got instructions from Modric and relayed the same to Subasic. This turned the tide of the game as Subasic saved and Croatia went on to win the game with Perisic’s late goal. Ever a team player, Modric turned the game while being on the bench

Along with El Clasico rival Ivan Rakitic, the midfield duo will be the source of creativity for the Croats. While keeping possession they will look to create chances for the forwards. Croatia are favourites to go through if the pair controls the game as expected.
