Presented here is a Croatia jersey worn by Luka Modrić during a June 8. 2024 international friendly match vs. Portugal. Kockasti ("The Checkered Ones"), as the Croatia National Football Team is known, won 2-1 behind an opening PK goal from their star #10 midfielder. Portugal's Diego Jota (RIP) equalized in the 48th minute before Croatia's Ante Budimir nodded home the game-winner eight minutes later.

Now 39 years old and still going strong, Modrić, has captained his national squad and club team Real Madrid for several years.

His 188 caps are by far the most of any Croatia national team player. At the 2018 World Cup in Russia, he led Croatia on a magical runners up finish after a thrilling 4-2 loss in the Final vs. France. Luka earned the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player. At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Croatia finished third and Modrić won the Bronze Ball as the tournament's third best player. All he's done with Real Madrid since 2012 is capture 28 major trophies including six UEFA Champions League, four La Liga, and two Copa del Rey titles, making him the most decorated footballer in club history.
