The Croats will have a huge score to settle as they take on reigning world champions France in this Nations League match-up. These two had locked horns in the 2018 World Cup Final when the French absolutely dominated all through the 90 minutes.
It was such a rare sight to see – that in the World Cup Final, one team having such a massive upper hand. And it was a let down as well as the game did not at all have any kind of a tense scenario.
Luka Modric was the one who would still pine on this loss. He could have simply walked into the pantheon of the greatest midfielders of all time had the Croats managed to deliver a win 4 years back.
It is a doubt if they would get another chance like that anytime soon. But they could make French lives more difficult with a superb performance this Monday.
However, when being realistic, once again Le Bleus are the favorites this time around as well. They have such a monster squad with them that it would take something really special to deny them from retaining their world title.
On top of having some huge talents, almost all of their players are in fine form as well. And striker Karim Benzema will be eager to solidify his status as the favorite for the Ballon d’Or this year.

克罗地亚人将有一个巨大的比分解决，因为他们将在国家联盟对阵卫冕世界冠军法国队。这两支球队曾在2018年世界杯决赛中发生争执，法国队在90分钟的比赛中占据绝对优势。
在世界杯决赛中，一支球队占据了如此大的上风，这真是罕见的一幕。这是令人失望的，因为比赛没有任何紧张的情节。
卢卡·莫德里奇是那个仍然会为这场失利而伤心的人。如果克罗地亚能在4年前赢得一场胜利，他本可以走进历史上最伟大中场的殿堂。
他们是否能在短时间内再次获得这样的机会还是个疑问。但他们周一的精彩表演可能会让法国人的生活更加艰难。
然而，实事求是地说，蓝衣军团这次也是最受欢迎的。他们拥有这样一支怪兽般的队伍，要想让他们保住世界冠军的头衔，需要一些特别的东西。
除了拥有一些巨大的天赋之外，几乎所有的球员都处于良好的状态。前锋本泽马渴望巩固自己作为今年金球奖热门人选的地位。
