Luka Modric's Superhero Like Statistics Is Proof That He's The Best Midfielder In The World

Luka Modric doing bits in the midfield shouldn't surprise anyone.

Because, after all, he is the best midfielder in the world, and his statistics against Argentina brilliantly prove that lofty sentiment.

Croatia continued their incredible start to the 2018 World Cup by convincingly beating Argentina 3-0 thanks to goals from Ante Rebic, Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic.

Rebic pounced on a Willy Caballero howler, while Rakitic wrapped up the three points with a goal in the dying stages.

However, the goal of the game went to Modric who produced a 'Man of the Match' performance.

He pulled the strings in the middle of the park, while getting on the score-sheet in truly sublime fashion. Stroking home a long-range strike.

His dynamic outing also included 100% take-ons, aerial duels and tackles won. Not to mention 62 touches and completing 42 passes.

Leading from the front. Incredible.

Croatia round off their Group Stage phase by taking on Iceland.
