#3 Ivan Perisic
This World Cup was an exhibition of the talents Perisic possesses. His abilities to run into the defense, cut inside and shoot, finesse while shooting - everything was on display. This was the first time many noticed the prowess of Ivan.
The Inter Milan midfielder was the other top scorer for Croatia, with 3 goals to his name. He also had one assist. Like Mario Mandzukic, Perisic also scored three very important goals in the context of the competition. The first one was his 90th-minute winner against Iceland. He next scored the equalising goal in the semis against England, where Trippier had given them an early lead.
His last goal of the competition came in the 28th minute against France. He scored the equaliser in the final, but due to a quick penalty giveaway, Croatia couldn't use the momentum to score maybe a winning goal. Ivan Perisic's contributions were vital for the team in getting past the knockouts and reaching the finals.
