Nakon što je propustila nastup na Europskom prvenstvu 2000. godine u Belgiji i Nizozemskoj, Hrvatska je nastojala doći do svoje druge europske smotre i pritom u dodatnim kvalifikacijama eliminirala susjede Slovence.
Hrvatska je na Euru igrala u skupini sa Švicarskom, Francuskom i Engleskom, a najviše hrvatskih nada i snova uloženo je u uvodnu utakmicu sa Švicarcima u Leiriji. Momčad predvođena izbornikom Ottom Barićem imala je brojčanu prednost uslijed isključenja Vogela, no obje su se momčadi na kraju morale zadovoljiti jednim bodom (0:0).
Drugi zadatak Hrvatske bio je dokazati se protiv aktualnih europskih prvaka Francuza, koji su bili ohrabreni pobjedom u posljednjoj utakmici nad Englezima. U prvom poluvremenu autogol Tudora doveo je Francuze u prednost, no Hrvatska je u prvim minutama drugog dijela preokrenula tijek utakmice.
Milan Rapaić pogodio je za izjednačenje, a Dado Pršo iz voleja sjajno zatresao Barthezovu mrežu i odjednom je Francuska postala lovac, a Hrvatska lovina. Trezeguet je konačno iskoristio propuste obrane Hrvatske (2:2) i odluka je pala u posljednjoj utakmici.
Francuska je odradila posao protiv Švicarske, a Engleska se oporavila od ranog gola Nike Kovača u Lisabonu. Pogoci Scholesa i Rooneyja ostavili su Hrvatskoj malo izgleda. Tudor je prepolovio prednost Engleza, ali je Lampard spustio zavjesu (2:4) na nastup Hrvatske u Portugalu.
