Spain knocked out the 2018 FIFA World Cup runners-up Croatia from the ongoing UEFA European Football Championship with a 3-5 win in their Round of 16 clash at Parken Stadium in Denmark on Monday.
Spain vs Croatia encounter was an exciting thriller. However, it was former Team India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s old tweet that stood out the most.
Interestingly, nine years ago exactly on June 28, 2012, MS Dhoni took to Twitter to say:
“Spain deserve to win this game but anyways now its lottery football, one who holds the nerve better will win. time for goalkeepers to b hero.”

MS Dhoni tweeted this after the semi-final clash between Portugal and Spain, which Spain won by 4-2 in penalties after both sides failed to break the deadlock at the regulation time and extra time. Spain eventually won the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship.
Very soon MD Dhoni’s tweet got viral on social media.
I will watch football if you live tweet this ball marathon sports.
