OFFICIAL: Ivan Rakitic retires from Croatia national team
HNS announced that after 106 appearances and 15 goals for the Croatia national football team, Ivan Rakitic decided to hang up his boots. The current vice-captain of the national team was one of the key players in Croatia's campaign for the World Cup silver in 2018, when he scored the decisive penalties in the victories against Denmark and Russia.
"Saying goodbye to the Croatia national team is the most difficult decision in my career, but I felt that this was the moment when I had to break and make that decision. I enjoyed every game I played for my homeland, and unforgettable moments from the World Cup will remain among my favorites. I am convinced that we still have a great team with a bright future ahead. I wish my friends and teammates all the international sports luck in the upcoming challenges, and they will have the biggest fan in me," said Ivan Rakitic on his farewell.

The unsung hero in Croatia’s 2018 campaign. The unsung Barcelona hero of 2015 campaign. Has been bad for past 2 seasons, but he was a beast in his days. Thank You Ivan.
