Unfortunately for the Barcelona forward, Perišić was on-hand to keep Zlatko Dalić’s side alive in the clash.

The Tottenham full-back’s vital intervention took Croatia into extra time for an eighth match in their last 11 knockout fixtures.

Cruelly, the 2018 World Cup finalists went on to suffer a 5-4 defeat on penalties.
