Croatia captain Luka Modric's game against the Netherlands by the numbers

37-year-old Luka Modric played 119 minutes for Croatia before being replaced. He was the star of the show as Zlatko Dalic's side defeated the Netherlands to reach the final of the Nations League.

Modric scored one goal and provided one assist. He completed 81 passes with an 89 percent accuracy. He also completed seven long balls and created one big chance. The Real Madrid superstar also won eight ground duels and two aerial duels.

Despite his ripe age, Modric remains a world beater. The performance against the Oranje proves his mettle. Considering the fact that Modric is producing such a masterclass after a long league season, his tremendous professionalism deserves its plaudits.
