It still astounds me that tiny country has been producing so much talent over the years. They are no slouches at waterpolo or handball either.

Croatia has a population of 4.27m. As of 2016 a total of nine Croatian players are credited as winning the Champions League: Alen Bokšić, Zvonimir Boban, Davor Šuker, Dario Šimić, Igor Bišćan, Mario Mandžukić, Luka Modrić, Ivan Rakitić and Mateo Kovačić, although Šimić, Bišćan and Kovačić did not appear in the relevant Champions League finals.
