🍷 Timeless Modrić sets World Cup record to lift Croatia over Ghana | OneFootball

Croatia continues to be a neutral fan's delight this evening, after the 2018 World Cup finalist and two-time third-place nation posted a 2-1 win over Ghana to finish behind England in Group L.

And, as ever, Luka Modrić was at the centre of it all on a day where he featured for the 200th time for Kockasti.

The veteran midfield maestro remains among the most gifted players of his generation anywhere in the world, and an assist today from a corner on Nikola Vlasić's headed winner added another notch on a sash laden with honours.

Modrić's set-piece delivery, which was headed home by the Torino midfielder, sees the Zadar-born star become the oldest player (40 years, 291 days) to register an assist on the world's biggest stage.

And though Croatia suffered a heavy defeat against group-topping England, their experienced squad, headlined by Modrić, will undoubtedly still have something to say this summer.
