Croatia enjoyed a very successful qualification campaign too, winning 7 of their 8 group matches, only drawing away at Czechia in Prague stopping them from maxing out their points total. They also saw off Montenegro, Faroe Islands and Gibraltar.
This will be the fourth meeting between England and Croatia at a major tournament. Our first meeting saw us beat them 4-2 in Lisbon at Euro 2004. We lost to them in Moscow at the 2018 World Cup semi-final, and beat them in our first game of Euro 2024 at Wembley, with Raheem Sterling grabbing the winner in front of a Covid crowd at Wembley.
