Croatia winger Ivan Perisic believes his team’s experience will give them an advantage over a young Spain side in the Nations League final on Sunday. Perisic finished World Cup runner-up in 2018 and third last year in Qatar, alongside captain Luka Modric, defensive midfielder Marcelo Brozovic, and central defender Domagoj Vida.
Croatia, which finished second and third in the last two World Cups, is looking for its first major title as it faces Spain in Rotterdam to decide the third edition of the Nations League. In Wednesday’s semi-final at the Feyenoord Stadium, Croatia defeated the Dutch hosts 4-2 after extra time.
“We have been together for a long time and there is a core of the team that has developed a deep understanding after all these years.
“The Spanish team has lots of new, young players but they do play for great clubs. Yes, we do have more experience than they do, having been runners-up at the 2018 World Cup and then third in Qatar.
