Rakitic is a highly skilled superstar with both physical and technical strengths. A decent passer of the ball with a spectacular vision and an amazing movement, the 30-year-old impresses at taking total control of the midfield, pushing the ball forward into offensive position as well as making immense defensive contributions - something that is rare to see in a typical central midfielder.
The Barcelona superstar also makes good use of the ball, capable of picking out the right passes and never disappoints whenever he finds himself in a good position to shoot.
