Incredible statistic of the Croatian star after the World Cup final. How did he endure it ?!

Ivan Rakitić was one of the pillars of the Croatian national team at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The Barcelona player played in each of his team's matches in the tournament, and the final against France was his … seventy-one match in the 2017/2018 season! This means that in the last few months it was 5633 minutes on the grass. How did he endure it?

Although the Croatian national team in the World Cup final in Russia lost to France 2: 4, Zlatko Dalicia's team supporters can be proud. The players themselves will come soon, that they have achieved great success. Because the best result in the history of their performances at the world championships. However, this would not be possible without several pillars of the team. One of them was certainly Ivan Rakitic, who at the last tournament played in all the matches of his national team.

And only against Iceland, when the Croats had already gotten out of the group, he did not spend a whole minute on the ground. During the World Cup, the FC Barcelona player has screwed up his incredible list of matches played throughout the season. It turned out that the final of the 2018 World Cup was its 71st meeting in the 17/18 campaign (counting club and staff)!

This translated into 5,533 minutes in the field. And even in the last minutes of the meeting with France, he was running and fighting for each ball, as if fatigue was not at all. And how complain some Polish players who claim that the time of their games is too intense and that they are exhausted?
