It seems that misfortune has become inherent to the Croatian national team striker, Mario Mandzukic, after he lost the fourth final in a row, whether with his country or with the clubs with which he had various professional experiences.
Mandzukic, who entered history as the first player in World Cup history to score by mistake against his country, then scored a goal for his national team, and became the second player to score in the semi-finals and final after French legend Zinedine Zidane.
He became the first player to lose the Champions League 3 times with 3 different clubs, starting with Atletico Madrid, Spain, passing through Bayern Munich, Germany, and ending with his current club, Juventus.
To conclude his series of losses in the finals with the Croatian national team, when he fell to his French counterpart, 4 goals to 2, in the final of the World Cup in Russia, to become the ugliest player in the world and called him “the godfather of loss.”
