Spain will face Croatia in the UEFA Nations League 2023 final at the De Kuip Stadium in Rotterdam, Netherlands on Sunday night. Spain beat Italy in the semi-finals, while Croatia won against the Netherlands to reach the final.
Spain are looking for their first title since their EURO 2012 win when the Spanish golden generation were almost invincible. Since then, their strength has seen a downfall after the retirement of star players. Now they have a young crop of players and this title could mark a start of a new era for Spanish football. La Furia Roja beat Italy 2-1, courtesy of a goal from Yeremy Pino and Joselu’s winner in the 88th minute.
The Croatian golden generation has its best chance of bringing a title home as they have time and time again impressed everyone with a strong showing at the 2018 World Cup and the 2022 World Cup when they lost to eventual winners. Luka Modric and Co. topped a group containing France, Denmark, and Austria before dumping the Dutch 4-2 in their own backyard in the semi-final.
Head-to-Head:
In nine matches played between these two teams, Spain won five while Croatia won three, with one ending in a draw. Croatia and Spain last faced each other in the EURO 2020 round of 16 when Spain won in penalties.
