The Al-Nassr midfielder has been one of the most important parts of Croatia’s midfield acting as their anchor and bidding the national team farewell in the form of an emotional letter on social media. 

“You know me well enough to know that I`m not one for many words, so actually just one number would be enough for this farewell letter. 99. I had the honour of playing for the Croatian national football team so many times, and I will end my national team career with that number.
