Watch Croatia vs Spain free live streams as Luis de la Fuente’s world and European champions seek to make it four wins from four Nations League 2026/27 fixtures. Slaven Bilic has had tough start on his return to the Vatreni dugout, his side having lost their past two outings by an aggregate 11-1.
Spain could have taken things easy after winning World Cup 2026 but the planet’s best side have instead gone from strength to strength. A point all but guarantees La Roja passage to the quarter-finals, but De la Fuente wants to maintain his team’s aura, after 41 matches unbeaten in 90 minutes, dating back to March 2024. Ferran Torres and Alex Baena are absent, but Pau Cubarsi should return at the back. Lamine Yamal, who has four goals from three games, will have his minutes managed.
Croatia lost 4-1 to Spain seven days ago, then suffered a crushing 7-0 home defeat by England at the weekend. That was the heaviest reverse in the history of the men’s national team. The Vatreni will be aiming to bounce back on Matchday 4, but they will be up against it in Split. Luka Modric, who admitted to being “ashamed” of that record defeat, should win his 206th cap but elsewhere it’s up for grabs. Ante Budimir could return to rough up Spain’s center-backs.
