Croatia fans were crestfallen following their team's exit from Euro 2020 in a 5-3 extra time defeat by Spain after a riveting fightback at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen.
Thousands had gathered at public viewing venues in Zagreb to follow the match in Denmark.
A bizarre own goal by Pedri fired the Croatians ahead but they looked down and out after Pablo Sarabia, Cesar Azpilicueta and Ferran Torres put Spain 3-1 ahead.
Late substitutes Mislav Orsic and Mario Pasalic engineered a spectacular comeback and forced extra time but goals from Alvaro Morata and Mikel Oyarzabal sank Croatia, whose striker Andrej Kramaric spurned a sitter with the score 3-3.
Captain Luka Modric conceded Croatia were on the back foot after taking the lead when Pedri's back pass from near the halfway line bounced over goalkeeper Unai Simon's foot and trickled into the net.
Orsic made his first appearance of the tournament having sat out Croatia's opening three games on the bench and made an instant impact when he came on late in the second half.
His goal pulled Croatia back to 3-2 and the pacy winger then delivered an inch-perfect cross for fellow substitute Pasalic to head home the equalizer, but the superb cameo display mattered little to the 28-year old.
