Luca Modric provided one of Euro 2024’s signature moments so far during the second half of Croatia’s decisive clash with Italy. The Group B clash had been low on incidents during the first half, but a wild 30-second passage play saw the game - and the crowd - erupt into life.
The Croats were awarded a penalty on 53 minutes after a handball, with Real Madrid veteran Modric stepping up to take it, in a match where his side needed a win to have a realistic chance of progressing into the last-16.
