Spain vs Croatia LIVE: They face each other this Sunday, June 18 at the Feijenoord Stadium (De Kuip), in Rotterdam (Netherlands). The match corresponds to the UEFA Nations League Grand Final and will be played from 1:45 p.m. The broadcast will be available on ESPN and STAR+ in South America.
Spain faces its second consecutive Nations League final with the aim of lifting its first title in eleven years, all against a combative Croatia that seeks the prize for the best generation in its history, with Luka Modric as a leader.
Only Jordi Alba and Jesus Navas ‘survive’ the last great success of ‘La Roja’, Euro 2012, and since then all attempts to assault glory have been in vain. They brushed it in the final of this tournament in 202.1 in Milan, but a goal from Kylian Mbappé in the final minutes gave the title to France.
Since then 20 months have passed and a disappointing World Cup in Qatar, but Spain has come back to his appointment to try to take the scepter of the French team. Before, at the beginning of the Final Four, he had to get rid of Italy on Thursday in the semifinals (2-1), before which he went ahead with a goal from Jeremy Pino and, after Ciro Immobile’s equalizer from the penalty spot, he finished with a superb second half and a saving goal from Joselu in the 88th minute.
