Croatia almost earned their first win at the Euros this year, as they progressed deep into injury time with a one-goal lead against the Azzurri. Luka Modric’s penalty was saved by Gigio Donnarumma, who dived the right way, but the Real Madrid veteran scored just seconds later, making up for the penalty miss.
Modric has now become the oldest goalscorer in the history of the Euros, aged 38. The midfielder was also given the man of the match award after the draw against Italy, but he couldn’t enjoy it fully as his side were all but eliminated at the group stage of the Euros.
What is Croatia’s place in the Best thirds table?
5th, 2 points and -3GD
