Croatia's cult fan Ivana Knöll gets her claws out: "Miss Croatia" takes a sharp shot at German TV queen Laura Wontorra and advises her to only wear winter clothes ...

What happened? Knöll was interviewed by MagentaTV on Saturday before Croatia's European Championship match against Spain (0:3). "It's already a bit cold," complained the 26-year-old, who was wearing a skimpy Croatia bikini, smiling about the not-so-summery weather in Berlin.

When asked for her prediction for the final, she settled on Croatia versus France. MagentaTV then switched back to the Cologne stadium, where Switzerland and Hungary were facing off.

There, presenter Wontorra, who is well-known and popular in Germany for her work in soccer reporting and on the entertainment show "Grill den Henssler", among other things, got carried away with a little dig at Knöll: "We'd just try to come up with a bit of expertise now."

"Would only wear winter clothes forever"
Croatia's noble fan didn't take kindly to this and lashed out at Laura Wontorra in a late-night Instagram story on Saturday. "Dear Laura, if I looked like that, I would only wear winter clothes forever," Knöll wrote on a picture of the presenter.

The Croatian also expressed her anger towards MagentaTV: "The most unprofessional television of all time. Teach your presenters the culture and never invite me to an interview again".

Knöll has been a household name for every soccer fan since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Back then, she caused quite a stir with her skimpy red and white Croatia outfits - she now has over three million followers.
