Seven minutes into the 2022 third-place match he launched himself at Ivan Perišić's flick and headed Croatia ahead of Morocco, still wearing the black mask that guarded the nose he broke days before the tournament. World Cup bronze heads his record, and with Manchester City he has taken the Premier League in 2024, the FA Cup in 2026 and the Club World Cup. Career record: 46 caps and 4 goals for Croatia; club career at GNK Dinamo Zagreb, RB Leipzig, Manchester City.
