Petar Musa

Early career

Born in Zagreb, Musa started playing football in the Hrvatski Dragovoljac youth system, before joining NK Zagreb in 2007. He made his first team debut on 1 March 2016 in the Prva HNL in a 3–0 away loss to Slaven Belupo. Musa eventually made six appearances for his team, as they were relegated to the 2. HNL.

Slavia Prague

Musa was signed by Slavia Prague in 2017, but he was immediately loaned out to Viktoria Žižkov in the Czech National Football League. He scored 12 goals in 37 games on loan, but during the winter transfer window, he was loaned to Slovan Liberec in February 2019, making his debut in the Czech First League on 16 February in a 2–1 away loss against Baník Ostrava. During the first half of 2019–20, Musa began displaying an impressive goalscoring form, scoring seven goals for his team, including a brace against Mladá Boleslav on 27 October, which led Slavia Prague to recall him from his loan and integrating him into the club's first team. In the league season, Musa scored Slavia's goal in the 1–1 draw to rivals Sparta Prague in the Prague derby, the winning goal in a 1–0 away victory over 1. FK Příbram, netted a brace in the 4–0 home victory over FK Jablonec. He finished the season as the league's top scorer alongside Libor Kozák, with 14 goals. In doing so, he became the youngest ever player (aged 22 years and 122 days) to achieve that feat. Despite being scouted by a number of established European teams, Musa decided to stay in…

Musa began his international career with under-18 level in 2015, for a total of three caps. On 14 November 2019, Musa won his first cap for the under-21 side in a 3–1 victory in Lithuania for the 2021 European Championship qualification campaign. In March 2021, Musa took part in the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, helping Croatia to a quarter-final finish, after losing 2–1 to Spain in extra-time. He was called up to the senior side by manager Zlatko Dalić on 16 May 2022, for the 2022–23 UEFA Nations League matches against Austria, France and Denmark. He made his senior international debut on 25 March 2023, replacing Marko Livaja in the 53rd minute of a 1–1 draw over Wales in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers. On 18 May 2026, Musa was selected in the 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. On 17 June, he scored his first World Cup goal in their group opener against England to tie the game 2–2 in an eventual 4–2 defeat.
