Primavera Sound Barcelona announces 2027 line-up – here’s what fans can expect as Spain’s biggest music festival turns 25

Croatia midfielder Luka Modric has not decided how long he will continue representing his country. The 41-year-old former Real Madrid star expressed his hope that Croatian fans would support the team despite their heavy defeat against England in their recent Nations League match. Modric and his teammates were thrashed 7-0 by England, which left the midfielder feeling ashamed of the team's performance.

Croatia will face world champions Spain in Split on Tuesday in an attempt to make amends. The Spanish team are the current champions and have been unbeaten in 41 matches. Modric admitted that the atmosphere should be different against the world champions, acknowledging that the loss to England was a significant setback. He emphasized the importance of addressing the issues that led to the poor performance against England and performing aggressively against Spain.

Modric also addressed his future with the national team, stating that he has not decided when he will retire from international football. He expressed the importance of being in a place that makes him happy and being willing to contribute both on and off the field. Croatia's coach, Slaven Bilic, emphasized the need for his team to react to the England thrashing and seize the opportunity to redeem themselves against Spain.

Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente downplayed Croatia's heavy defeat, describing it as an "accident" in football that doesn't reflect the difference in ability between the two teams. Spanish winger Lamine Yamal has excelled for Spain in their first three group matches, scoring in each of them. De la Fuente stated that Yamal is in great form and ready to play in the upcoming match.

Dani Olmo, a teenage midfielder from Dinamo Zagreb who later joined Barcelona, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to grow at Dinamo and later move to Barcelona.
