Berlin: Luka Modric said on Friday that Croatia "don't mind being dark horses" at Euro 2024 despite consistently performing above expectations at recent major tournaments.
Zlatko Dalic's men kick off their Euro campaign against Spain in Group B at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Saturday, as they bid to reach the knockout phase for a fifth consecutive major tournament.
Croatia made the final at the 2018 World Cup, losing to France, and then finished third in Qatar two years ago.
Despite those successes, Croatia are again not being touted as one of the favourites for the title in Germany, with France, England, the hosts and Portugal widely considered the leading contenders.
"Being the dark horses, we dont mind about that," Modric told a pre-match press conference.
