Mario Mandzukic is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Juventus. Besides being a prolific goalscorer, he is known for his defensive contribution and aerial power.

Mandzukic started his career in his hometown club Marsonia from where he moved to two Croatian capital city football clubs, first joining NK Zagreb and then signing with Dinamo Zagreb in 2007, where he was Prva HNL top goalscorer in the 2008–09 season. His prolific scoring earned him a transfer to VfL Wolfsburg in 2010. After some impressive performances at UEFA Euro 2012, where he was the joint top scorer with three goals, he was signed by Bayern Munich. In his first season with the club he won three trophies; the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, and the Champions League, while also becoming the first Croat to score in a Champions League final. 

After winning a domestic double the following season, Mandzukic left Bayern for Atlético Madrid in 2014, and a season later was signed by Juventus for €19 million, where he won the domestic double in his first three seasons. In the 2017 Champions League final match against Real Madrid, he scored his second goal in a Champions League final, an overhead kick arcing past the keeper that earned him UEFA Goal of the Season award.

At the international level, Mandzukic was given his debut for Croatia in November 2007 under manager Slaven Bilić. He participated in four major tournaments with his national side, Euro 2012, the 2014 World Cup, Euro 2016, and the 2018 World Cup, reaching the final of the latter tournament, after which he retired from international football. In total, he made 89 international appearances, and with 33 goals, he is the Croatia national team's second-most prolific scorer of all time, behind Davor Šuker and was named Croatian Footballer of the Year in 2012 and 2013.

Let's take a look at his fantastic performance at Juventus:
