Ivan Rakitic (Croatian pronunciation: [i?an rakitit?]; born 10 March 1988) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a central or attacking midfielder for Spanish club Barcelona and is also the vice-captain for the Croatia national team. Rakitic started his professional career at Basel and spent two seasons with them before he was signed by Schalke 04.
After spending three-and-a-half seasons in the Bundesliga, he was signed by Sevilla in January 2011.
Two years later, Rakitic was confirmed as the club captain and captained the team to UEFA Europa League triumph.
In June 2014, Barcelona and Sevilla reached an agreement on the transfer of Rakitic.
In his first season with Barça, he won the treble of La Liga, Copa del Rey and UEFA Champions League.
He scored the first goal of the 2015 Champions League Final and became the first player ever to win the Champions League a year after winning the Europa League while playing for two clubs. At the international level, Rakitic plays for the Croatia national team.
Although naturally a product of Switzerland's youth level, Rakitic pledged his international career to his parents' country of Croatia instead.
He made his debut for Croatia in 2007 and has since represented the country at UEFA Euro 2008, UEFA Euro 2012, the 2014 FIFA World Cup, UEFA Euro 2016 and the 2018 FIFA World Cup, winning a runners-up medal in the latter tournament, and earning over 100 caps.
