Wingate & Finchley Overview

Dani Olmo has issued a stern warning to his Spain team-mates, insisting that Croatia will be a "dangerous" animal following their recent embarrassment. The Barcelona star believes the wounded heavyweights will be desperate to restore their pride in Split after suffering a historic thrashing at the hands of England.

Dani Olmo is preparing for an emotional reunion as Spain travel to face Croatia in a match that carries deep personal significance for the playmaker. The former Barcelona youth product took a massive gamble on his career a decade ago, leaving La Masia to find his feet in the Balkans.

Luis de la Fuente has told his Spain players to ignore recent results and prepare for a battle against a world-class Croatia side in the UEFA Nations League. The La Roja boss believes their opponents remain one of the most formidable forces in international football despite recent setbacks.

Lamine Yamal is “different”, fellow Golden Boy award winner Anderson has told GOAL, with there “no one” close to the Barcelona wonderkid when it comes to the hottest prospects in world football. The Spain international winger, who now has a World Cup win on his ever-expanding roll of honour, is considered to be a serious contender for the 2026 Ballon d’Or.
