Football fans, buckle up! The Euro 2024 group stage kicks off with a spicy rematch as Spain and Croatia face off in Berlin’s Olympiastadion this Saturday. 🏟️ It’s a clash of titans with *major* tournament history: Spain knocked Croatia out in Euro 2020’s thriller and beat them in last year’s Nations League final. Talk about déjà vu! 😤
Croatia’s golden boy Luka Modrić, 38, is back for his fifth Euros – fresh off winning La Liga and the Champions League with Real Madrid. 🇭🇷✨ But Spain’s young guns aren’t backing down: Mikel Oyarzabal scored FOUR goals in warm-up games. 💥
Fun fact: Spanish midfielder Dani Olmo once played with *eight* of Croatia’s current stars at Dinamo Zagreb. Coach Zlatko Dalić even joked he wished Olmo had switched sides! 😂
With defending champs Italy *and* Albania in Group B, every point counts. Will Spain dominate again, or can Croatia flip the script? 🔥⚽
