France and Croatia Face Off in UEFA Nations League Quarterfinal First Leg

The match in Split marks a pivotal moment for both teams, with France aiming for the Final Four and Croatia seeking redemption after recent struggles.

France fields a strong lineup led by captain Kylian Mbappé, with Ousmane Dembélé and Randal Kolo Muani completing the attacking trio.
Croatia's starting eleven is anchored by Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic in midfield, with Ante Budimir leading the attack.
The outcome of the two-legged quarterfinal will determine whether France advances to the Final Four or begins World Cup qualifiers in June.
Croatia hopes to overcome inconsistent form since Euro 2024, where they failed to progress past the group stage and struggled in Nations League group play.
This tournament is one of the final campaigns for France's long-serving coach Didier Deschamps, while Croatia's Zlatko Dalic continues his tenure as one of Europe's longest-serving national team managers.
