Spain v Croatia live – Euro 2024 latest as Luis de la Fuente's side start campaign with tough fixture

Cucurella is penalised for a foul on Majer around 25 yards out on the right side of the box. Majer's delivery is headed clear at the near post.

Nice passing move from Croatia. It ends with Gvadiol miscontrolling it near the byline under pressure from Cucurella before he can get a cross in.

Here's hoping we get a repeat of the 5-3 classic at Euro 2020.

CHANCE

Croatia try and play it out from the back. Kovacic gives it away, Yamal lays it off to Morata on the edge of the box whose tame shot is saved.

Yamal and Fabian combine but the through ball from the latter is overhit. Carvajal then hits a low cross which is cleared, its all Spain.

Croatian fans are massively outnumbering the Spanish supporters in the stadium. So there are jeers when La Rojas have the ball and they have had plenty of the ball early doors.

Le Normand plays a long ball towards Morata, but the keeper is off his line to claim.

We are underway in Berlin.

Five minutes till kick off!

Marc Cucurella starts ahead of Alejandro Grimaldo at left-back.

Rodri is named in midfield and skipper Alvaro Morata leads the line.

Croatia skipper Luka Modric, aged 38, starts in his ninth major tournament. He is alongside the familiar trio of Mateo Kovacic and Marcelo Brozovic.

Josko Gvardiol looks to be starting at left-back, while Ante Budimir spearheads the attack.

A year ago, La Roja beat Croatia on penalties to win the Nations League.

At just 16 years and 338 days old, Lamine Yamal beats the record previously set by Poland’s Kacper Kozlowski, who played at the last European Championship at 17 years and 246 days old.

The countdown is on to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. It is sure to be full of drama as a host of the biggest names in sport compete for glory in the French capital, and now only 44 days away.
