Croatia U19 face Spain with a European final on the line

Croatia's U19 side face Spain in the European Under-19 Championship semifinal on Wednesday, with a place in the final at stake (1). Spain reached this stage with goals spread across the squad, Morante, Sergio Esteban, Ousmane Diallo, Hugo López, Quim Junyent, Thiago Pitarch, Xavi Espart, and Dilan Zarate have all found the net during the tournament (1). It is a chance for the next generation to deliver something the senior side could not at this summer's World Cup, where that disallowed Josko Gvardiol equalizer against Portugal still stings.
