Croatia defeated Czech Republic 2-1 in the Nations League, with Pasalic scoring the winning goal to help Croatia secure three crucial points. After the match, Pasalic spoke for the first time to Nova TV.

Pasalic said: "I just told the lads in the dressing room that this was payback for the Panama match, I did well. It's always been on my mind, and I felt today I repaid the 'debt' I had."

"I practiced headers during club training. Perisic's pass was perfect, I have to admit that."

"I've said before that we struggled to play here last year, so we can't underestimate any opponent. We were just as motivated as when we played Spain or England."

"We're satisfied with three points and now we'll head to Seville (away to Spain) with a positive mindset. We're facing a strong opponent, but we have to give our best, and everything will go smoothly."

In the 2026 World Cup group stage match, Croatia defeated Panama 1-0, and Pasalic missed a one-on-one chance.
