After returning to Inter Milan, he won the 2020–21 Serie A, the 2021 Supercoppa Italiana and the 2021–22 Coppa Italia. A former youth international across numerous levels, Perišić made his debut for Croatia in 2011 and went on to represent his nation at four UEFA European Championships (in 2012, 2016, 2020 and 2024) as well as four FIFA World Cups (in 2014, 2018, 2022 and 2026). He helped lead Croatia to a second and third-place finish at the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, securing two medals, as well as a second-place finish in the 2023 UEFA Nations League.
