My Take
I have a soft spot for centre-backs who do the unglamorous work, and Duje Ćaleta-Car is exactly that kind of player. Standing 193 cm and hailing from the Adriatic port of Šibenik, he carries the quiet steel that Croatian defenders seem to inherit by birthright. Being part of the 2018 World Cup runners-up squad is no small badge, and his journey from Lyon to Real Sociedad shows a willingness to keep proving himself in tough leagues. He will never grab headlines like a striker, but I find real beauty in a defender who wins his duels and simply refuses to be beaten.
