The Berlin Temple, where Jesse Owens accomplished his feat against the Nazis at the 1936 Games, was the scene of much amazement as the Croatian public, the overwhelming majority of whom were present, watched the Roja captain Álvaro Morata (28), Fabián Ruiz (32) and Dani Carvajal (45+2) leave the match sentenced to rest half-time.
Croatia, which advanced to the 2022 World Cup semifinals in Qatar, displayed indications of team aging this past year and a half in the form of captain Luka Modric, who came on with 30 minutes remaining after the team had not performed well during the match.
On the other hand, Lamine Yamal, a Spanish child prodigy, made history by being the youngest soccer player to compete in a European Championship at the age of 16 years and 11 months. Carvajal’s precise pass served as the game-winning goal to cap off his celebration.
