In a decisive victory over Armenia, Croatia secures their automatic qualification for Euro 2024, finishing second in Group D behind Turkey. The win not only affirms Croatia's consistent qualification streak for every European Championship since 2004 but also maintains their flawless record of reaching every major tournament since 2010. The match in Zagreb saw Ante Budimir's crucial header, meeting Borna Sosa's cross, breaking the deadlock and ensuring Croatia's victory. Despite a disallowed second goal, Croatia's dominance was evident throughout the game, exemplified by a 75% possession in the opening 15 minutes and numerous shots on target. With this qualification, midfielder Luka Modric, 38, is set to participate in his ninth major tournament, provided his fitness holds. Having been a runner-up in the 2018 World Cup and securing a third-place finish in the last winter's tournament in Qatar, Modric adds experience and leadership to the Croatian squad. The draw for the group stages of Euro 2024 will take place on December 2, revealing Croatia's opponents in the upcoming tournament in Germany.
