The Club World Cup is in full swing, and our Croatian heroes are not just here—they are dominating! Luka Modrić came on for Real Madrid in the 67th minute against RB Salzburg and helped his team secure first place in Group H with seven points. Real won 2-0, with Vinicius and Valverde playing key roles in the goals. Al Hilal, four-time Asian champions, also advanced by beating Mexican Pachuca 2-0, thanks to goals from Salem Aldawsari and Marcos Leonardo. In the Round of 16, Real Madrid will face Juventus, while Al Hilal will host Manchester City. But that’s not all! Croatian players are everywhere in the tournament.
