Playing Style
A central midfielder widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time and the finest Croatia has produced, Modrić anchored the country's second Golden Generation and took the 2018 Ballon d'Or, his passing range and game control undimmed. At 40, he remains central to Dalić's plans for the group stage and the heartbeat of the side.
World Cup History
The 2026 finals will not be Luka Modrić's first senior World Cup. He featured at the 2006, 2014, 2018 and 2022 finals, and Dalić turns to the talisman once more in 2026, a remarkable span of tournament football for a midfielder still setting the tempo for Croatia deep into his career.
