Croatia have not won a major international trophy and this is their opportunity to win the 2022-23 Nations League when they clash with Spain in Sunday's final in Rotterdam.
The Chequered Ones came closest in their runner-up finish at the 2018 World Cup and have reached another final five years later as they beat the Netherlands 4-2 in the semi-finals.
Whereas Spain will be looking to bring back some glory after last winning the European Championship in 2012, with a runner-up finish in the 2020-21 Nations League. La Roja edged Italy 2-1 to reach Sunday's showdown event.

Team news & squads
Croatia team news
Zlatko Dalic will be counting on the availability of Josip Sutalo after the defender was taken off late in the win over the Netherlands, more so as the Croatia boss is managing without the injured Josko Gvardiol.
Andrej Kramaric may keep his place in the XI ahead of extra-time hero against the Dutch, Bruno Petkovic.
It will be like a jewel in the crown for 37-year-old Luka Modric to lead Croatia to the title as the captain of the side.
Croatia possible XI: Livakovic; Juranovic, Vida, Sutalo, Perisic; Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic; Pasalic, Kramaric, Ivanusec
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Livakovic, Ivusic, Labrovic |
| Defenders: | Vida, Barisic, Juranovic, Sosa, Stanisic, Sutalo, Erlic |
| Midfielders: | Modric, Kovacic, Brozovic, Pasalic, Vlasic, Majer, Ivanusec |

Spain team news
Having lost Juan Bernat, David Garcia and Nico Williams to injuries earlier this month, Spain boss Luis de la Fuente has no other concerns, except for Rodrigo playing only until half-time in the Italy win.
Despite Joselu bagging the crucial late winner in the semi-finals, Alvaro Morata should continue up front, with Marco Asensio forming part of the attack.
It may also be another start for Jesus Navas over Dani Carvajal at the heart of the Spanish defence.
Spain possible XI: Simon; Navas, Le Normand, Laporte, Alba; Merino, Rodri; Asensio, Gavi, Pino; Morata
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Simon, Kepa, Raya |
| Defenders: | Carvajal, Navas, Laporte, Nacho, Le Normand, Alba |
| Midfielders: | Rodri, Zubimendi, Fabian, Merino, Gavi, Canales |
