Euro 2020: Croatia's Livakovic says his team has to make Spain anxious

The Hindu  

Croatia will need to keep possession as much as possible to unsettle Spain in its Euro 2020 last-16 clash in Copenhagen on Monday if it is to advance to the quarter-final, goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic said. "The knockout stage is like a new tournament altogether and although Spain are an outstanding team full of top quality players, I am sure they will be wary of us too," Livakovic told a news conference from Croatia's Rovinj base camp on Thursday.

Coach Zlatko Dalic was not thrilled to learn that Croatia would face Spain and not Sweden, which clinched top spot in Group E thanks to a stoppage-time goal in a 3-2 win over Poland.
