After the momentous and terrible event for Luka Modric, Croatia waited for an almost nonexistent miracle to continue at EURO 2024.

Happy and sad

Luka Modric experienced every mood in the final round of Group B EURO 2024 between Croatia and Italy, which could be his last European Championship. Football is harsh.

Modric was thrilled, nervous, and in pаin after Italy’s 8th-minute ιnjury time goal by Mattia Zaccagni.

Croatia awaited a miracle after Zaccagni’s stunning goal. All aspects of “Vatreni” seem gone.

Modric flew from Һell to heaven in 1 minute before Zacaggni scored the goal of his life, freezing Real Madrid’s number 10.

At 0-0, referee Mackelli checked VAR regarding the ball touching Davide Frattesi’s hand and handed Croatia a penalty in the 54th minute.

After Bruno Petkovic missed a penalty in the loss to Spain, captain Modrid took over. The team’s most charismatic player.

Euro 2020 greatest player Gigio Donnarumma’s reflexes defeated Modric. He made a fantastic catch against Croatia to become the youngest EURO custodian to reach 10 matches.

Croatia continued to аssаult, and Modric shot the roof of Donnarumma’s net as the Italians remained unhappy. In 60 seconds, everything happens.

Modric was the oldest EURO player at 38 years and 289 days. Croatia and Luka persevere.

Italy also resisted. In the last minutes, Luciani Spalletti let Fratessi, Barella, Fagioli, Chiesa, and Scamacca disrupt the opponent’s pitch.

After Luka bit the jersey in the technical area, teenage midfielder Calafiori helped Zaccagni beаt goalkeeper Livakovic with a top corner shot.

Miracle for Croatia?

Danny Makkelie considered the VAR intervention that led to a penalty, which Modric and his teammates celebrated, especially in the second half when the Croatian players fouled repeatedly to break up the match. The team received 5/6 yellow cards after 60 minutes.

Modric and his teammates should address Croatia’s inattention non the midst of football’s harshness.

Croatia equalised in the 5th minute of ιnjury time against Albania. For the first time in EURO history, a team lost two wins by allowing two extra-time goals.

Croatia won only 2 points against Albania and Italy. The Zlatko Dalic army blocked its door to continue.

“This match hurt my symptoms and the sadness will last for many months,” stated Dalic. “But in football, if we already know how to celebrate victory together, now we must learn how to endure defeat together.”

Croatia was in Germany till the group stage completed before returning home.

Croatia’s EURO 2024 1/8 round entry requirements? Facts must occur concurrently. Serbia, Czech Republic, and Georgia lost to England, which trounced Slovenia by at least three goals.
