Football: Croatia vs Russia at World Cup
Luka Modric's assist against Russia helped take the game to penalties

His goal against Argentina proved why this man is feared. Croatia were the underdogs going into that game but Modric turned it around.

Against Russia, he was the man that the team looked at for inspiration. He had 2 key passes and 2 successful dribbles. He even got his penalty absolutely right when it mattered.

Helping Real Madrid in the their multiple Champions League-winning campaigns has prepared this man for the pressure of the final stage of the tournament, and his contribution along with that of Ivan Rakitic will decide the outcome of this tournament for the Croats.
