Markovic has received plenty of inspiration from Ronaldo throughout her seven-year career.

The Portugal international’s discipline has helped her seal a spot in Croatia’s women’s national team.

Markovic recently said: “[Luka] Modric is definitely a great role model for me. He is a world footballer and represents Croatia.

“There are many good players among the women, such as [Ramona] Bachmann. But my absolute favourite player is Cristiano Ronaldo because he’s just so disciplined.

“I think it’s super important that you give your all in sport and have a good mindset like him.”
