An early Luka Modric penalty gave Croatia victory in Saint-Denis to end France’s defence of the UEFA Nations League.
Croatia’s first win over France comes at the tenth attempt (D3 L6).
France’s hopes of retaining the UEFA Nations League title were ended by a 1-0 home defeat against Croatia, Denmark’s home win against Austria taking them seven points clear of the holders with two games to go in Group A1.
France coach Didier Deschamps on Nations League match against Croatia,he said , “We came up against a very good Croatia team that had more dynamism than us. It’s not our status as world champions that will win us games.”
It’s been a very difficult June for us. We didn’t have sufficient energy or strength against teams that had more of that than us. We didn’t get any luck either, but it’s above all freshness that we were lacking.”
