Hrvatska je na Euro otišla poslije dramatične završnice kvalifikacijskog ciklusa u kojoj su u zadnjem kolu Vatreni pobijedili Maltu i dočekali “dar” u vidu pobjede Talijana nad Norveškom pa u Francusku otputovali kao prvoplasirani u skupini.
Vatreni su u Francuskoj, predvođeni izbornikom Antom Čačićem, igrali u skupini sa Španjolskom, Turskom i Češkom, a nastup otvorili minimalnom pobjedom nad Turcima uslijed fantastičnog pogotka Luke Modrića.
Uslijedio je dvoboj s Češkom u Saint-Etienneu koji je počeo fantastično velikom rezultatskom prednošću zahvaljujući pogocima Perišića (37’) i Rakitića (59’), a završio mučno zbog prekida koji su izazvali hrvatski huligani i dvaju pogodaka Čeha u samoj završnici za konačni remi 2:2.
Susret sa Španjolskom u Bordeauxu donio je sjajno izdanje Vatrenih, koji su u utakmicu ušli rezervirano i primili pogodak već u sedmoj minuti (Morata). Međutim, u posljednjoj minuti prvog dijela Nikola Kalinić je poslije Perišićeva ubačaja sjajno petom poentirao i nagovijestio buđenje hrvatske momčadi.
Kad je Danijel Subašić u 72. minuti obranio jedanaesterac Sergiju Ramosu bio je to nagovještaj velikog trijumfa koji su vatreni dočekali u 87. minuti. Perišić je sjajno istrčao kontru, uhvatio De Geu na krivoj nozi i postigao pogodak za prvo mjesto u skupini.
Osmina finala donijela je šahovsku utakmicu s budućim europskim prvakom Portugalom i dramu u smiraju drugog produžetka. U 117. minuti Perišić je pogodio stativu, a u nastavku akcije uslijedila je portugalska kontra i Quaresmin pogodak za kraj puta Vatrenih u Francuskoj. Imao je, doduše, Vida još jednu priliku za izjednačenje, ali lopta je prohujala pored lijeve vratnice. Bio je to još jedan crni dan u hrvatskom nogometnom kalendaru. Suze su opet potekle…
