Livakovic was the hero for Croatia again. Eleven saves during the game, followed by one more in the shootout. He’s been a revelation.

DOMINIK LIVAKOVIC

(Goalkeeper - Croatia)

The left-back set up Morocco’s winner against Portugal, and put in an excellent defensive display in a hugely demanding quarter-final tie.

The central defender managed to keep Portugal’s attackers at bay. He won 100% of his ground duels and 75% of his aerial duels.

JAWAD EL YAMIQ

Croatia’s defensive general, Gvardiol won’t be at Leipzig for much longer. His ball recovery launched the attack that led to the Croats’ equaliser.

The right-back latched on to  Lionel Messi’s pass to score Argentina’s first goal, and registered a 78% pass-completion rate.

(Defender - Argentina)

The 37-year-old Croatia captain kept running for 130 minutes. He’s superhuman, and remains the cornerstone of his national team.

Griezmann is returning to his best.  He supplied two assists in France’s win over England, and is a constant source of attacking danger.

ANTOINE GRIEZMANN

(Midfielder - France)

One of Portugal’s few bright spots. Bruno completed three out of three dribbles, and had an 86% passing rate. He had a good World Cup.
