With Martin Erlic in place of Domagoj Vida for Croatia and two changes for Spain, the two contenders for the League of Nations have made very little change to their team for the final on Sunday (8:45 p.m.) in Rotterdam. Central defender in Sassuolo, Erlic, brilliant in particular in hens against France, knows his fifth selection there, associated with Josip Sutalo.
The powerful Vida is the only holder of the semi-final against the Netherlands (4-2 a.p.) not to be chained. Croatia unsurprisingly aligns its famous trio in the middle Luka Modric, Mateo Kovacic and Marcelo Brozovic.
On the Spanish side, compared to the half won against Italy (2-1) Luis de la Fuente replaced in the middle Mikel Merino by the Parisian Fabian Ruiz, and his probable future teammate Marco Asensio plays as a right winger at the place of Rodrigo Moreno. The former Jesus Navas (37), who had not known the selection for three years, retains his position as right-back.
