#5 Ivan Perisic (Croatia)
The Inter Milan winger took some time to announce himself on the biggest of stages but when he did, Perisic made sure he made the most out of it. From scoring a last minute winner against Iceland to his match-winning performance against England to his equalizer against France, Perisic landed some heavy blows to the opponents.
It can be argued that Ivan Perisic was Croatia's second best player in Russia. If Luka Modric was the matador of this Croatian side, Perisic surely was the raging bull. The man never stopped running, with or without the ball, Perisic was a man possessed in the knockout stages. He was Croatia's top scorer in the World Cup and scored a goal worthy of a World Cup final yesterday.
