Mario Mandzukic is a Croatian striker known for his work rate, aerial power and goals in major matches for clubs including Bayern Munich and Juventus and for the Croatia national team. He scored the extra time winner against England in the 2018 World Cup semi final and also scored in the final against France. Short commentary clips shouting his name later circulated among football fans online, where the name alone became shorthand for a clutch header, a late winner and old school centre forward play.
