Singer Lidija Bačić reveals her favorite Croatian footballer: 'I like it when men are charmers'

Croatian singer Lidija Bačić has revealed her current favorite Croatian footballer is Mario Mandžukić. Bačić, who was a guest on the podcast "Nema labavo by IN magazin," initially tried to give a diplomatic answer when asked about the most attractive Croatian footballer, stating they were "all too handsome." However, under pressure from the hosts, she admitted Mandžukić had always been a particular favorite.

“

Let's say, when Mario Mandžukić was playing, he was very handsome to me. A real charmer. I like it when men are charmers. Not aggressive, but simply - masculine. That's what I find attractive.

"Let's say, when Mario Mandžukić was playing, he was very handsome to me. A real charmer. I like it when men are charmers. Not aggressive, but simply - masculine. That's what I find attractive," Bačić candidly confessed. She emphasized that it was the former Croatian international's "certain something" that attracted her, rather than just classic good looks.

This is a shift from her previous favorite. In late 2022, before the World Cup in Qatar, Bačić gave the highest rating to Marko Livaja during an appearance on the show "Dalibor Petko Show." She justified her "ten" for the Hajduk striker with a brief, clear, and locally patriotic comment: "I have to for our Hajduk player." She also placed Andrej Kramarić second.

Bačić, who describes herself as a passionate fan, previously stated that football is the most beautiful sport and footballers are handsome. "I am a passionate fan, everything about football attracts me. It's the most beautiful sport to watch. Everything is grand, the big field, you hold your breath for every goal, and the footballers are handsome too," she said.
