In the Round of 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Portugal defeated Croatia 2-1. After the match, former Croatian international Dejan Lovren commented on his team's performance.

Lovren spoke candidly in an interview with Croatian national television, harshly criticizing his team's defensive performance.

Lovren said: "It's painful, very painful. Luka didn't deserve an ending like this, and neither did Kovacić, who played one of his best matches for the Croatian national team today. But I simply cannot understand how we conceded that goal. I'm extremely disappointed—when it comes to jumping to defend, it's purely a matter of willingness. We absolutely cannot have three players on the pitch who don't even jump while defending, and concede a goal like that. It's inexcusable."
