Ivan Rakitic continues to enjoy a well-earned break with his wife Raquel Mauri following Croatia's record-breaking World Cup campaign.
Mauri took to Instagram to share photos of the couple in their swimwear on what appeared to be a luxury boat with a rocky outcrop in the background.
The pair, who married in 2013 and have two young children, have already shared a number of pictures of the duo spending quality time together.
All smiles, Mauri received plenty of comments on her Instagram, including from @rakitic_the_king who posted 'the most beautiful couple' on her page.
Remarkably, no player in Europe played more matches than the 71 Rakitic competed in during the 2017-18 season.
Having helped Barcelona win a La Liga and Copa del Rey double, the 30-year-old went on to have a roller-coaster ride with his national side at the World Cup.
The Blazers had a bruising route to the final with their three knockout matches against Denmark, Russia and England all going to extra-time, the first two settled by a penalty shoot-out.
Although not coming away with the ultimate prize, Rakitic and his team mates were welcomed home as heroes after achieving their best-ever finish at a World Cup, eclipsing the third-placed finish in 1998.
Once his break comes to an end, Rakitic will be back in the Barcelona set up under Ernesto Valverde. The Spanish coach has to cope with the loss of Andres Iniesta and the probable departure of Andre Gomes in the midfield area.
