Three-time champions Spain play Croatia in Group B of the UEFA European Football Championship in the German capital, Berlin. The match at the famous Olympiastadion kicks off at 6pm local time.
Berlin’s famous Olympic Stadium will be the venue for today’s huge Group B opening clash between 2008 and 2012 Euros champions, Spain, and 2018 FIFA World Cup finalists, Croatia. There’s a lot at stake in this contest with Italy also in Group B, effectively making this the Euro 2024 “group of death”.
Croatia’s midfield of Marcelo Brozovic, Mateo Kovacic and Luka Modric is a trio that most nations dream of, even if they are into their thirties. Together, they provide a balance of technical ability, press resistance, ball carrying, athleticism and defensive quality.
On top of that, their experience at the international stage will be needed. Brozovic (96 caps) and Kovacic (101) are among the wiliest players at the tournament, while Modric (175) is the country’s most-capped player of all time.
Possible line-ups
Spain: Simón: Carvajal, Le Normand, Nacho, Grimaldo; Merino, Rodri, Pedri; Lamine, Morata, Williams
Croatia: Livaković; Stanišić, Šutalo, Pongračić, Gvardiol; Modrić, Brozović, Kovačić; Majer, Budimir, Kramarić
