Croatia beat Ireland 3-1 before also drawing 1-1 with Italy. • For Spain a draw ensures qualification; a win secures first place. If Spain draw 1-1 and Italy win 4-0, Spain would finish first ahead of Italy on coefficient. Croatia will definitely qualify, as group winners, with victory. They will also be through with any draw other than 0-0 or 1-1. If their game is scoreless and Italy win, Croatia are out. In the case of a 1-1 draw, they will only be through if Italy do not beat Ireland by 3-1 or better. If it is 1-1 and Italy win exactly 3-1, the Azzurri will be second on coefficient. Croatia can afford to lose if Italy do not win. Head-to-head record • Since independence, Croatia have played four games against Spain – all of them friendlies – with a record reading W1 D1 L2. • Spain came up against plenty of Croatian players in their games against Yugoslavia which included a decisive qualifier for the 1978 FIFA World Cup finals and a tense 2-1 win for the hosts in Valencia during the 1982 finals. • Croatia's first meeting with Spain after independence took place in Valencia on 23 March 1994, when they won 2-0 with goals from Robert Prosinečki and Davor Šuker. • Šuker struck again when the countries next met in Seville on 5 May 1999. It took him just nine minutes to score his 40th international goal, but Spain replied through Vicente Engonga, Fernando Hierro and Dani García. • Spain visited Croatia for the first time on 23 February 2000 to play out a goalless draw in Split. Stipe Pletikosa was in goal for the hosts. Selected previous meetings 7 June 2006: Spain 2-1 Croatia (Pernía 61, Torres 90; Pablo og 13) – Stade de Genève, Geneva, friendly Spain: Reina (Cañizares 46), Salgado (Sergio Ramos 46), Puyol, Pablo, Pernía, Joaquín (Fàbregas 72), Xavi Hernández (Iniesta 62), Xabi Alonso, Reyes (Luis García 46), Raúl González (Torres 46), David Villa.

Current Croatia coach Slaven Bilić played all 90 minutes. Form guide • Croatia are competing at a third successive UEFA European Championship; they have missed only one of the last five – UEFA EURO 2000. • World and European champions Spain came into the finals on a run of 14 straight competitive victories since they surprisingly lost 1-0 to Switzerland in their opening game of the 2010 FIFA World Cup finals. They have not missed a major finals tournament since the 1992 UEFA European Championship. Team ties • Real Madrid's Iker Casillas, Álvaro Arbeloa, Xabi Alonso, Sergio Ramos and Raúl Albiol all tasted action against GNK Dinamo Zagreb in the 2011/12 UEFA Champions League group stage. • Spain's David Silva scored Manchester City FC's opening goal in the 2011/12 UEFA Champions League group stage home win against FC Bayern München. Danijel Pranjić featured in the 2-0 loss for the visitors. Last updated 16/06/12 20:48:35CET 3 Match background Croatia v Spain Monday 18 June 2012 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) MATCH PRESS KIT Arena Gdansk, Gdansk • Pranjić was an unused substitute as his FC Bayern München team lost out to a Chelsea FC side containing Juan Mata and Fernando Torres in the 2012 UEFA Champions League final. • Spain's Cesc Fàbregas scored twice as Arsenal FC enjoyed a 5-1 aggregate UEFA Champions League third qualifying round victory over Dinamo Zagreb in 2006. Eduardo scored the Croatian team's only goal of the tie while future Tottenham Hotspur FC club-mates Vedran Ćorluka and Luka Modrić were also in the Dinamo lineup. • Fàbregas and Eduardo – the former now at FC Barcelona and the latter at FC Shakhtar Donetsk – played together at Arsenal FC from 2007 to 2010. • Ivan Rakitić plays for Sevilla FC. He also faced Silva and Albiol as an FC Schalke 04 player, starting for the German club against Valencia CF in both matches played during 2007/08 UEFA Champions League group stage. After Valencia had posted a 1-0 win in Gelsenkirchen, the return at Mestalla ended goalless. • Modrić played both legs of Tottenham's 2010/11 UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid CF, with Niko Kranjčar coming off the bench for his countryman in the decider. Casillas, Alonso and Ramos lined up for the home team. Ćorluka returned to the Spurs' team for the 1-0 defeat in the second leg, with Arbeloa added to the Spanish internationals in the Madrid team. • Darijo Srna faced Víctor Valdés, Gerard Piqué, Xavi Hernández, Andrés Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Pedro Rodríguez when Shakhtar Donetsk were defeated 5-1 by Barcelona in the first leg of the 2010/11 UEFA Champions League quarter-final, when Eduardo came on as an 82nd-minute substitute. Srna missed the 1-0 defeat in the return but Eduardo came off the bench in the 58th minute. • Srna also captained the Ukrainian side during a 2-1 home defeat by Barcelona in the group stage of the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League. He enjoyed greater success when leading Shakhtar to a 3-2 victory at the Camp Nou on the final matchday of the group stage; Piqué and Busquets played for Barça. • Srna was also Shakhtar captain in their 1-0 UEFA Super Cup defeat by Barcelona in 2009. Valdés, Busquets, Piqué, Xavi and Pedro, who scored the extra-time winner, played for the Spanish side. • Ognjen Vukojević was in the FC Dynamo Kyiv team beaten twice by Barcelona (2-0 away and 2-1 in Ukraine) in the 2009/10 UEFA Champions League group stage. Xavi and Pedro scored for Barcelona in the tie. • FC Dinamo Moskva's Tomislav Dujmović spent the second half of 2011/12 on loan at Real Zaragoza, making 12 league appearances and scoring on the last of those, against Granada CF in May when he was also sent off. • In the 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship play-offs a Croatia team including Domagoj Vida, Milan Badelj and Ivan Perišić lost 5-1 on

Olympique Lyonnais : Après que Gérard Houiller ait cédé sa place à Alain Perrin, le club rhodanien a enregistré quatre arrivées, pour huit départs. L'arrivée de Nadir Belhadj était déjà conclue lors du mercato hivernal, un accord entre l'OL et Sedan ayant été trouvé pour une somme de 3,2M€. Puis, Lyon a entrepris de piller le LOSC...

Dernière arrivée en date, celle du champion du monde italien, Fabio Grosso, arrivé de l'Inter pour 7,5M€. A signaler enfin le retour de prêt de Rémy Riou, jeune gardien de 19 ans, qui avait été prêté à Lorient. L'OL aura donc dépensé pas moins de 33,2M€.

With his three goals (20, 44, 75), Villa became the first player since 2000 to score a hat-trick on this illustrious stage before setting up the fourth goal for Cesc Fàbregas (90+1) after Roman Pavlyuchenko (86) had reduced the deficit. • If it is little surprise that Luis Aragonés's Spain have steadily built on that victory to reach their first semi-final in 24 years, Russia's impressive turnaround since that false start was perhaps less easy to predict. Yet it continues Hiddink's commendable record at major tournaments, having never failed to take a team beyond the opening stage. • After losing to Spain, Russia revived their hopes by defeating holders Greece 1-0 in Salzburg through a 33rd-minute goal by Konstantin Zyryanov. They then beat Sweden 2-0 in their decisive third group game, Pavlyuchenko (24) and Andrei Arshavin (50) scoring as Russia secured their passage to the last eight.
