Dominik Livaković (Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: [dôminik liʋǎːkoʋitɕ, domǐ-];[3][4] born 9 January 1995) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb and the Croatia national team.

Club career

Livaković became part of NK Zagreb's first team at the beginning of the 2012–13 season. Initially the club's second-choice goalkeeper, he made his league debut on 31 August 2012, playing the full match in a 1–0 defeat at home to HNK Cibalia.[5] He soon became the club's number one and made a total of 104 league appearances over four seasons, including 90 in the Prva HNL.

On 30 August 2015, he agreed to join Dinamo Zagreb at the beginning of the 2016–17 season. He made his league debut for the club on 2 October 2016 in a goalless draw at home to Hajduk Split. On 18 October 2016, he made his first appearance in the UEFA Champions League in a 1–0 defeat at home to Sevilla.

On 30 July 2019, in a Champions League qualifying 3–0 victory over Saburtalo Tbilisi, Livaković broke Dražen Ladić's record for most minutes from the start of Dinamo's season without conceding a goal (413), set in 1995.[6] He conceded his first goal of the season three days later, in a 3–1 league victory over Gorica, set the new record at 535.[7][8]

On 26 August 2020, in a Champions League qualifier against Cluj, Livaković saved Ciprian Deac's penalty kick. The game went to extra time and ended as a 2–2 draw, resulting in a penalty shootout. Livaković saved Cătălin Golofca's attempt which would turn out crucial as Dinamo won the shootout 6–5 and progressed to the third qualifying round.[9] In the 2020–21 Europa League group stage, Livaković was praised for his performances after he conceded only one goal in five games and led Dinamo to the first place in their group.[10][11] He notably saved Steven Berghuis's penalty kick in Dinamo's 0–0 draw with Feyenoord on 22 October.[12][13]

International career

Livaković received his first call-up to the Croatia national football team for their friendly against Moldova in May 2016.[14] He made his debut against Chile in the 2017 China Cup where Croatia lost on penalties.

In May 2018 he was named in Croatia's preliminary 32 man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, and was eventually part of the team that finished runners-up after losing the final against France.[15] He made his competitive debut against England in the 2018–19 Nations League match held on 12 October 2018 at Stadion Rujevica in Rijeka, which ended in a scoreless draw.

After disappointing performances of Lovre Kalinić, Livaković became Croatia's first choice goalkeeper for the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying campaign, starting with matchday 3 against Wales, held on 8 June 2019.
