Hrvatska nogometna reprezentacija Under Merlin Polzin, Hamburg switched from a back four to a back three after promotion, going  with an extra centre-back to form a 3-4-2-1 formation. So Luka operates as one of three centre-backs. The back three usually sits fairly narrow, with a midfielder dropping in to create width, and Luka plays a key role in their build-up  — he’s typically the one who triggers possession, carrying the ball out and finding players between the lines.
He’s been the breakout star of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season. He’s winning around 69% of his duels and 77% in the air — the best numbers at HSV and among the best in the league , and he broke a Bundesliga record with 18 aerial duels won in a single match against Union Berlin .
