The Croatia star feels priviliged to have played alongside two of the best midfielders in the world for club and country
Croatia midfielder Ivan Rakitic has hailed the otherworldly talents of Luka Modric and Andres Iniesta.
Barcelona's Rakitic and Real Madrid's Modric have resumed their esteemed midfield alliance for Croatia at the 2018 World Cup to superb effect, with Zlatko Dalic's side one of only three to progress through the group stages in Russia with a 100 per cent record.
Iniesta has signed off on his decorated Barca career but remains a key part of Spain's bid for glory before he begins a news chapter in Japan with Vissel Kobe.
