The confrontation was a revenge for England, who lost 2-1 to Croatia after the extension in the semi-finals of the World Cup Russia 2018, knowing that the two teams then faced each other in the European Nations League, which has a friendly character to a large extent more than a major competition, and a tie in the first leg 0-0 and the “Three Lions” won 2–1 home at Wembley Stadium in particular.
