It was March 24, 2016 and in the group stage the Croatians managed to win in Burgos with a clear score of 3-0. Spain, which like Italy have won the European Championship five times (1986, 1998, 2011, 2013 and 2019), reached the quarterfinals by beating Slovenia (3-0) and the Czech Republic (2-0) and drawing with Italy (0-0).
