Croatian Ivana Noll, who earned the title of "most attractive fan" at the 2022 World Cup, expressed her disappointment as her country's chances of qualifying for the knockout stage of "Euro 2024" hang by a thread. Croatia was on the verge of securing its place in the Round of 16 of the European Championship currently taking place in Germany, with a goal from captain Luka Modric putting Italy on the waiting list, but a last-minute equalizer from substitute Mattia Zaccagni turned the tide and brought the defending champions and third-place finishers from the Qatar 2022 World Cup closer to elimination.
Zaccagni scored the equalizer in the 88th minute with a well-placed left-footed shot into the far left corner of goalkeeper Livakovic's goal after receiving a pass from Riccardo Calafiori. Had Croatia managed to hold on, they would have finished second in Group B behind Italy and secured a spot in the Round of 16 with ease. However, with only two points and a goal difference of -3, Croatia looks highly likely to miss the chance to advance as one of the best third-placed teams.
Noll was left disappointed and showed a great deal of sorrow after her country’s draw with Italy diminished their chances of qualifying for the knockout stage of "Euro 2024." After the match, the famous Croatian model shared a series of photos on her Instagram story featuring emojis that expressed frustration and sadness.
Before the painful draw against Italy, Noll had been posting pictures showing her enjoyment with fans in the pre-match atmosphere. Specifically, before the match against Italy, the 31-year-old model was seen in Germany eating a plate of pasta, one of Italy's most famous dishes, as a form of mockery towards the opponent ahead of the matchup. Noll, who initially gained fame and followers on social media for attending Croatia's matches in tight outfits during the 2022 World Cup, has become a prominent figure at major tournaments, whether European Championships or World Cups, consistently appearing in those events.
