‘I’m the type of person who doesn’t care about the opinions of others anyway.

‘But my career has certainly changed in a great way (after Qatar) and it has helped me return to my greatest love, which is music. ‘

She said the recognition the World Cup had given her had led to her being invited as a DJ at events such as Formula 1 and in Las Vegas.

‘No one made me, no one can break me. I choose the harder path for my career so as not to sell myself and my soul, and it’s not easy, but I’ll make it.”

She said it was “amazing” to have a following on Instagram and more on other social media platforms.

But she has also worked with A-stars such as Cher, basketball star Shaq and Manchester City CEO Erling Haaland.

She said: I definitely think Croatia can win this tournament and when I play there next month it will be a celebration.’

It is expected that between 50,000 and 100,000 Croatian fans will come to Berlin tonight to watch their side play Spain tonight.

There will be at least three times as many Croats in the German capital as Spaniards, authorities think.

Those who cannot make it to the 75,000-seat Olympia Stadium will instead flock to the Central Fan Zone, located opposite the famous Brandenburg Gate, with a capacity of up to 125,000 fans.

Three hundred and fifty kilometers away, in Gelsenkirchen, Ivana set the pulse racing among the army of English fans who were beginning to pour into Germany.

West Ham fan Dean Wiley, 23, from Basildon, Essex, joked: ‘I wear my England shirt with pride… but to be honest I now think I can switch my allegiance to Croatia!

‘I remember her from the World Cup in Qatar, more than any other Croatia match.

‘I’m surprised that any of the Croatian fans sitting next to her in the ground can concentrate on the football. I probably wouldn’t do that!

‘You know Croatia is at a tournament when she is there pictured posing seductively in an apartment overlooking a fan zone!’

His friend Alex Simpson, 25, from Romford, added: ‘My cousin, 16, had her pictures on his bedroom wall during the World Cup!

“I’ll have to give him a call and let him know she’s at it again so you can keep an eye out for the new pictures.”

Knoll said she thought Jude Bellingham was the best-looking Englanf player but preferred a retired England star.

She added: ‘Jude is a nice boy for England and he is the best looking now.

‘But no one can take away from David Beckham being the number one most handsome English player ever!’
