Drinks are on Mandzukic!

By Football Italia staff

Mario Mandzukic spent €4,000 buying drinks for people in his hometown to watch Croatia beat Russia on penalties at the World Cup.

The Juventus striker ran up the massive bar tab while he was playing in the quarter-final last night.

The news was confirmed by Radio Slavonija, noting supporters gathered in the Brod Fortress in Slavonski Brod and kept thirst away during extra time and a penalty shoot-out.

It’s not the first time the 32-year-old has shown generosity for his homeland, as last year he donated around €20,000 to firefighters in Dalmatia.

Croatia will face England in the World Cup semi-final, while Belgium take on France.
