Spain or the Netherlands waiting for the winner in the semi-finals
France travel to take on Croatia tonight in a blockbuster Nations League quarter-final clash.
It is a repeat of the 2018 World Cup final, when France won 4-2 in a thrilling encounter, and the sides have met four times in the Nations League since then.
Les Blues have won two of those games, but Croatia came out on top when these two nations last faced off, as Luka Modric gave them a 1-0 win in Paris in 2022.
France finished top of Group A2 to reach the quarter-finals of the Nations League this time, edging out Italy on goal difference, and they remain in the hunt to become the first side to win the competition twice.
Croatia were second in Group A despite winning only two of their six matches and picking up just point on the road. It is therefore crucial that they pick up a positive result tonight in the first leg of this tie, before they travel to France on Sunday night.
Croatia were within touching distance of winning the last staging of the Nations League, losing on penalties to Spain in the final in 2023.
The winner of this tie will face Spain or the Netherlands in the semi-finals in June.
TV channel and live stream: The game will be broadcast for free on ViaPlay International’s YouTube channel. Kick-off is at 7:45pm GMT.
