Coach Zlatko Dalic said he apologised to the tens of thousands of Croatia fans who travelled for his side’s disappointing opening 3-0 loss to Spain at Euro 2024 in Berlin on Saturday.

Croatia were stunned by a vibrant first-half display from Spain as goals in the opening 45 minutes from Alvaro Morata, Fabian Ruiz and Dani Carvajal left Dalic’s men precariously placed in Group B.
