Club career
Zadar
Subašić started his professional career in his hometown club Zadar during the 2003–04 season. Following Zadar's relegation from the top flight at the end of the 2004–05 season, he became a first-team regular during the club's time in the Croatian second division.
Hajduk Split
In the summer of 2008, he was loaned to Hajduk Split[3] and immediately became a regular at the club, appearing in all of their 18 league matches in the first half of the 2008–09 season. During the winter break of the season, the club decided to convert the loan into a permanent transfer. Subašić kept his place as a regular in the second half of the season, making a further 13 league appearances for the club. Early in the season, he also made three appearances for the club in the UEFA Europa League qualifying.
During his second season with Hajduk, in 2009–10, he made a total of 28 league appearances, as well as another two appearances in the UEFA Europa League qualifying, and also helped the club win the Croatian Cup.[4]
In the 2010–11 season, he made 20 appearances in the league. He had a knee injury in early November which kept him out of action until just prior to the new year. He was the first choice keeper before and after the injury. In that season, Hajduk also qualified for the UEFA Europa League where Danijel kept for all the league games bar one.

In January 2012, Subašić joined AS Monaco in Ligue 2.[5] He made 17 appearances for the club during the 2011–12 season, keeping five clean sheets. In Monaco's last Ligue 2 match of the 2011–12 season, he scored the winning goal from a free kick in a 2–1 away victory over Boulogne.[6] In the 2012–13 season, Subašić played an important part in winning the Ligue 2 title and earning promotion to Ligue 1.[7] He missed only 3 league matches. On 10 August 2013, he made his Ligue 1 debut for Monaco in a 2–0 win against Bordeaux.[8] During the 2013–14 season, which was his first season in Ligue 1, Subašić kept four clean sheets and experienced only one defeat in Monaco's first 13 Ligue 1 matches. Subašić played 35 matches in Ligue 1 as Monaco finished runner-up in 2013–14 season. During the 2014–15 season, Subašić kept 8 consecutive clean sheets in Ligue 1 matches; on 8 February 2015, his impressive run of not conceding a goal in Ligue 1 ended after 842 minutes in an away match against Guingamp.[9] On 11 March 2017, Subašić kicked the ball into Diego Rolán and it ricocheted back Rolán's way for him to roll the ball into the empty net in the 84th minute of the 2–1 Ligue 1 home win against Girondins de Bordeaux.[10] In the 2016–17 season, Subašić played an important part in winning the first Ligue 1 title after 17 years, as well reaching the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, and was named Ligue 1's Goalkeeper of the Year.[11]
International career

Subašić made his international debut with the Croatian under-21 national team, in a friendly match against Denmark on 1 March 2006. During the same year, he won a total of 6 international caps with the team, including two competitive appearances in the qualifying for the 2007 European Under-21 Championship.[12]
In 2009, he was called up to the Croatian national team at the full international level, and made his debut for the team on 14 November 2009 in a friendly match against Liechtenstein in Vinkovci, playing the full 90 minutes and keeping a clean sheet in Croatia's 5–0 win.[13] In May 2010, he won another two international caps in friendly matches, in the away fixtures at Austria and Estonia, keeping clean sheets in both matches.[14][15] After Stipe Pletikosa retired from international football in 2014, Subašić became Croatia's first-choice goalkeeper.[16] He represented Croatia at the 2016 UEFA European Championships, and on 21 June 2016, played an integral part in Croatia's 2-1 win over Spain, saving a second-half penalty from Sergio Ramos. In May 2018, he was named in Croatia's final 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[17] Subašić played a key role in Croatia's match against Denmark in the round of sixteen, where he saved three penalties during the penalty shootout, thereby also equalling the record number of saves held by Ricardo since the 2006 World Cup. This performance unfortunately did not get him the Man of the Match Award, which was his opposite number Schmeichel's. [18][19][20]
Personal life
Subašić was born to a Serbian father Jovo Subašić of Orthodox faith from Zadar, and a Croatian Catholic mother (née Brkljača) from village Raštević. He was raised Catholic and declares as a Croat.[21]
Subašić wears the image of his former NK Zadar teammate, Hrvoje Ćustić, under his jersey while playing. Ćustić died in a tragic on-field accident in 2008.

Točno je da se moj otac zove Jovo, ali tvrdim da on sa srpstvom nema veze. On se izjašnjava kao Hrvat, ali pravoslavne vjere. Točno je i to da je moja majka Hrvatica i katolkinja Brkljača iz Raštevića ... Ne znam koliko puta moram reći da sam Hrvat i katolik. Hrvatska je moja domovina i Zadar je moj grad, u kojem sam rođen. Uostalom, kršten sam u katoličkoj crkvi , imam sve katoličke sakramente
