Suara.com – Spanish National Team finally showing off after starting the final round Euro 2020 limping because of being barren in front of the opponent’s goal, but will still face a tough test from Croatia National Team, when the two teams meet in the round match Euro 2020 last 16 at Parken Stadium, Copenhagen, Denmark, Monday (28/6/2021) tonight at 23.00 WIB.
Spain coach Luis Enrique said the champagne bottle had been opened to kick off the big party following the 5-0 thrashing of Slovakia in the final Group E match, but Croatia could have ruined the party.
On the other hand, Croatia itself had to play without one of its best players, namely winger Ivan Perisic who tested positive for COVID-19.
The player, who scored twice in Croatia’s Euro 2020 Group D campaign, was forced to undergo 10 days of isolation to miss the semifinals, should Croatia go that far.

But it must be remembered, 13 of the 26 players in the current Croatia squad were part of the team that successfully finished runners-up at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
In contrast, only seven Spanish players make up the rest of the 2018 World Cup squad.
Prior to this year’s Euro, Spain won three major tournaments in a row, starting from Euro 2008, World Cup 2010, and Euro 2012.
However, La Furia Roja then failed miserably at Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup.
