Spain have reached another UEFA Nations League final and will face Croatia, a team bidding to win their country’s first international trophy, in Rotterdam. Read on and we'll show you how to watch today's Croatia vs Spain live stream from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for FREE.
After Spain edged out Italy, thanks to a late winner from 33-year-old Joselu in Thursday’s semi-final, Luis de la Fuente’s side will have the chance to win their first major title since triumphing at the 2012 European Championship (Jordi Alba being the sole survivor from that iconic team). The current squad may be lacking in star power but they have impressed by reaching a second straight Nations League final, with Joselu notching no less than three goals in three appearances since making his international debut in March.
In contrast, Croatia have a team that has repeatedly excelled on the international stage. Zlatko Dalic led his side to the runners-up spot at the 2018 World Cup and four years later they finished in third place, with players such as Luka Modric, Ivan Perišić and Andrej Kramarić excelling in both tournaments and still playing a key role for the side. All three started the 4-2 win over Holland in the semi-finals and will be determined to help their country secure a first major title.
Team news:
Spain XI: Simon; Navas, Le Normand, Laporte, Alba; Fabian, Rodri; Asensio, Gavi, Pino; Morata.
Croatia XI: Livakovic; Juranovic, Erlic, Sutalo, Perisic; Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic; Pasalic, Kramaric, Ivanusec.
Can Croatia’s golden generation finally deliver in front of 14,000 fans in De Kuip stadium? Or will a new-look Spain regain their status on the European stage? Find out by watching today's Croatia vs Spain live stream, which we’ll show you how to do below.
