For Croatia, 2018 vice-world champion, this first match of Euro 2021 promises to be difficult. Luka Modric’s teammates begin the competition against England at home in their legendary Wembley stadium in London. Already a shock match.
It will be the revenge of the World Cup played in Russia and lost by the English after extra time (2-1).
During qualifying for the Euro, Croats and Britons finished at the top of their group.
On the other side of the Channel the selection is experiencing a rejuvenation with the affirmation of young Foden (21) and Mount (22) in midfield.
On the Croatian side, Real Madrid playmaker Luka Modric, Ballon d’Or 2018, will probably live, at 35, his last major international competition.
