Spain win Nations League
Croatia missed out on their first international trophy after losing on penalties to Spain in the Nations League final, BBC Sport reported.
Dani Carvajal calmly chipped home the winning effort to seal a 5-4 victory on spot-kicks after Unai Simon had saved from Bruno Petkovic.
The contest in Rotterdam had finished goalless after extra time.
It is Spain's first international trophy for 11 years, since their victory at Euro 2012.
"We're so happy, it was a really tough game and this is so difficult to do," said Spain midfielder Rodri, who was named man of the match and for whom this trophy follows winning the Treble with Manchester City and scoring the winning goal in the Champions League final.
Rodri thinks this could be the start of another succession of Spanish titles, with the squad featuring several exciting young players including Gavi, Ansu Fati and Yeremy Pino.
"This generation promises a lot. We were very strong mentally. There are things to improve, but winning is always good - we have to celebrate," he said.
Victory also means Spain become the second nation to win the World Cup, European Championship and Nations League following France, who beat the Spanish in the 2021 Nations League final.
