Livaković’s shootout record is the most-cited tournament statistic in Croatia’s locker. The Fenerbahçe move not working out raised concerns about whether he was still operating at top-five-league level, but his return to Dinamo Zagreb has been a clear restoration. Croatia’s tournament floor depends substantially on knowing they have a shootout edge if any knockout match goes to penalties — and on that count Livaković gives them more confidence than almost any other team in the bracket.
Strengths
- penalty-shootout specialism with three saved at 2022 alone
- shot-stopping reflexes
- command of the area on crosses
- diagonal distribution to wingers
