To anybody escapes him that the World-wide of Russia 2018 made by Ivan Rakitic has been excelso. At least, until the final. If complete a grandísima performance in the vital meeting against France this Sunday, in fact, no descarta that the FIFA can award to the player of the FC Barcelona the Balloon of Gold of the tournament, after Leo Messi won it after the World-wide of Brazil 2014.

Rakitic Has marked decisive goals with Croatia in the World-wide, as the one who annotated in front of Argentina in the phase of groups or the penaltis that has marked to drive to his selection to the highest, in the batches of penaltis of eighth and quarter-finals.

It has starred a brilliant game and balanced in the centre of the field, being the complement perfect for Luka Modric to the hour to recover balloons, distribute game and incorporate to the attack from second line, participating also in the creation. Although it is true that so that it was Balloon of Gold of the World-wide will be very necessary that Croatia win the final, is possible that not even like this carry the award.

It will touch him compete with his compatriot Luka Modric, the one who also has signed up to now a World-wide excellent and that has a lot of ballots to obtain the prize. If it won the final France, the history would change, with N'Golo Kanté, Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann like main candidates to conquer the award.

What seems very unlikely is that it carry it to him some player that have not arrived to the final of the tournament, since that is used to to be one of the conditions that puts the FIFA to the hour to deliver the award. In this coyuntura, Harry Kane, in spite of being for the moment the 'Pichichi' with 6 goals and have fallen in semifinals against Croatia, does not have hardly options.

Messi carried the 'MVP' of 2014

We remember that four years ago, in the World-wide of Brazil 2014, went Leo Messi the one who carried the prize, no without controversy because of the protests of players of the German selection, as Thomas Müller. If this time carried it to him Rakitic, the FC Barcelona would accumulate already the two last Balloons of Gold in World-wide, all a gesta.
