Former Miss Croatia has made her Euro 2024 return - but she wasn't able to inspire her beloved team to a win over Albania. Ivana became an unlikely star of the 2022 when photographers queued up to take photos of the curvaceous Croatian model cheering on Luka Modric and Co. She was and snapped by grinning Qatari supporters in the stands - who it was later claimed disapproved of her revealing red and white outfits and needed the photos "probably to report them".
We believe you lads. The bombshell announced earlier this month that she would be heading to Germany, during an interview when she , not 31 as had been previously widely reported. But her presence didn't seem to help Croatia during their 3-0 defeat to Spain last weekend and things didn't go much better when she showed up in Hamburg today.
Donning a plunging white and red top, with a blue denim jacket and skin tight red leggings, Ivana looked as radiant as ever. Yet she wasn't able to inspire Croatia to victory, and while some fans on her seemed as besotted with her as they were two years ago, others claimed she had brought "bad luck" and bizarrely that her arresting attire might in fact have proved "distracting" for the players. Whether or not Croatia's struggles on the pitch can be attributed to their players having their attention drawn to Ivana in the stands - for the record, it's safe to say they can't - it's clear the current vintage don't look as impressive as the side that finished runners-up in the World Cup in .
