Luka Modrić’s 2022 FIFA World Cup campaign confirmed his status as the leader and undisputed midfield maestro of Croatian football. At 37 years old, the Croatia captain once again demonstrated extraordinary technical quality, tactical intelligence, composure, and leadership on the biggest international stage.
Modrić remained the central figure of Croatia’s midfield throughout the tournament, controlling the tempo, dictating possession, and providing the experience required to compete against the strongest teams in the world.
Croatia reached the semifinals after eliminating Japan in the Round of 16 and producing one of the tournament’s biggest surprises by defeating Brazil on penalties in the quarter-finals.
In the semifinal, Croatia faced Argentina before finishing the tournament in third place. They defeated Morocco 2–1 in the third-place play-off, securing another World Cup podium finish after reaching the final four years earlier.
Modrić’s performances throughout the tournament were defined by his exceptional passing range, ability to control the rhythm of matches, intelligent positioning, and leadership. Despite being one of the oldest players in the competition, he remained one of Croatia’s most influential performers.
