2018 FIFA World Cup Quarter-finals: Russia 2 - 2 (3 - 4) Croatia
2018 FIFA World Cup Quarter-finals: Russia 2 - 2 (3 - 4) Croatia

Cool as a cucumber, Ivan Rakitic is one of the stars of FIFA World Cup 2018. He along with Luka Modric has been the driving force behind Croatia's world cup fairytale. The Barcelona midfielder plays with a stable head and never loses composure, something that embellishes to his genius on the field.

He was given the responsibility to score the final spot kick in Croatia vs Russia quarterfinal penalty shootout and the Barcelona man didn’t disappoint as Croatia ousted the hosts to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup.

Luka Modric is undoubtedly one the best players in Croatia but Rakitic has proved to be equally valuable with his presence in the centre of the park.
