Spain kicked off Euro 2024 in style with a resounding 3-0 victory over Croatia in Berlin.

Alvaro Morata opened the scoring in the 29th minute, netting his seventh Euros goal to join Alan Shearer and Antoine Griezmann in third place on the all-time list.

Fabian Ruiz doubled Spain’s lead shortly after with a superb individual effort, showcasing their attacking prowess.

Lamine Yamal, at 16 years and 338 days, became the youngest player in Euro history and assisted Dani Carvajal for Spain’s third just before halftime.

The match echoed Spain’s dominance over a lackluster Croatia, reminiscent of their Nations League final clash, which Spain won on penalties last year.

The result underlined Spain’s potential to vie for a record fourth European Championship title, while Croatia faces an uphill battle in Group B after their defeat.

Despite initial fan support, Croatia struggled to match Spain’s possession and sharpness.

Spain’s display highlighted their tactical flexibility under coach Luis de la Fuente, with Ruiz’s precise through ball setting up Morata’s opener.

Croatia had moments of promise, with Unai Simon making key saves to deny Marcelo Brozovic and Lovro Majer.

Carvajal’s goal just before halftime effectively sealed the game for Spain, with Yamal impressing with his assist.

In the second half, Spain managed the game well, thwarting Croatia’s attempts to mount a comeback.

Marc Cucurella made a crucial defensive block to maintain Spain’s clean sheet, while a late goal by Croatia’s Bruno Petkovic was disallowed by VAR for encroachment, preserving Spain’s dominant performance.
