Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren is convinced of Croatia's World Cup chances.

Lovren has revealed Croatia's World Cup run is beginning to feel like Liverpool's dream run to the Champions League Final.

Croatia now face hosts Russia in Saturday night's quarter-final for a place in the last four. Lovren said: “This feeling is still here and I believe in it.

“Like I did with Liverpool in the Champions League, I believe it with my teammates at Croatia, also.

“In all these years, the atmosphere between us, and outside, it's totally different to the previous years. It was like, you know, I didn't feel we believed in each other. There were always some exceptions. But this time we are in peak of form and it's our time, I think."
