The History of Croats and Ballon d’Or
In 1998, Davor Šuker was the first Croat to be nominated for the Ballon d’Or.
In 2013, Mario Mandžukić was on the 30-man shortlist, therefore being the first Croat to do that in 15 years.
In 2015, Ivan Rakitić was nominated and ended up 23rd with 0.05% of the votes.
In 2016, Luka Modrić took 1 point.
In 2017, he was once again nominated and took 84 points, ending up fifth.
It’s 2018 and not one, not two, but three Croats are nominated: Mario, Luka and Ivan.
Budi ponosan. ❤️
I AM PONOSNA
