Spain vs Croatia Preview
Croatia enters this match coming off a 4-2 win over the Netherlands. Andrej Kramaric, Mario Pasalic, Luka Modric and Bruno Petkovic all scored for Croatia in the win.
Zlatko Dalić, Croatia coach, had this to say heading into the match against Spain: “It’s a huge prize, the gold medal. We can’t have better motivation than that. We have put in a lot of energy, but we will try to recover. In six years, we have won three medals for Croatia; nobody believed we could do that. We are a superpower in football again and, besides all our problems, we showed that we have quality and character. We show that in our matches and it makes us happy and proud.”
On the other side, Spain got to the finals after handing Italy a 2-1 defeat in the semis. Yeremy Pino and Joselu put it in the net for the Spanish side. This will be Spain’s second straight appearance in the Nations League finals. La Roja lost to France the last time around, and it has another chance to win it all here.
“We know what [Croatia] are like; a very high-level team with great technical quality and some players with huge experience,” Spain manager Luis De La Fuente said. “They’ve reached the World Cup final and Nations League final so they are a very good side. They played extra time [in the semi-finals] but winning makes things easier. We’re not going to have much time to rest but we’re all very excited and I’m confident we will play at a high level.”
The two teams last met back in 2020, when they squared off in the round of 16 of the UEFA Euro 2020. Spain won, 5-3.
Here’s a look at the potential starting lineups for both teams:
Spain: GK: Unai Simon, Dani Carvajal, Robin Le Normand, Aymeric Laporte, Jordi Alba, Rodri, Fabian Ruiz, Gavi, Marco Asensio, Alvaro Morata, Yeremy Pino
Croatia: Dominik Livakovic; Josip Juranovic, Domagoj Vida, Josip Sutalo, Ivan Perisic; Luka Modric, Marcelo Brozovic, Mateo Kovacic; Mario Pasalic, Andrej Kramaric, Luka Ivanusec
