2014 Champions League final, Lisbon
The legendary Real Madrid and Croatia midfielder reflects on his two biggest matches for both club and country
“In my career, I have been lucky enough to play in many games I consider special. The first one is winning the Champions League title with Real in 2014,. It was Real’s first title in the Champions League after waiting for12 years. For me it was special, both because it was my first Champions League final and because in my second season at the club I had gained the status of a starter, a leader. I was very excited, but without any fear.
