Milan Badelj (born 25 February 1989) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Genoa and the Croatia national team. He is a member of the Croatian squad that finished runners-up in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
On 16 September 2020, Badelj signed a three-year contract with Genoa.
On February 20, 2021, he scored his first goal for the club, as he equalized at the last minute of a match against Hellas Verona: in that occasion, he celebrated by recreating the number 13 with his fingers pointed to the sky, as a way to pay tribute to his late friend and former team-mate Davide Astori (in fact, the Italian defender had used to wear the number 13 shirt until his tragic death).<\/P>","DC9241C78561BCD0":"Milan Badelj","776ABA890334BE6B3BFB7EFC5D96F457":"SS Lazio","9085EF0B5B518612":"79kg","4ADA354908754559E53E3FA7C013DA37":"47","97C471949E1057BED9C5A535F14529AAF72A852D44EC1724":"1","97C471949E1057BEF55B60029EC94B5E":"800000.00","C497EA9EA23AEEDCAF9AD5DB76B19323":"
