Deprived of some long-standing injuries like Rodri or Dani Carvajal, Spain should not upset its eleven, this Sunday, for the final of the League of Nations against Portugal, 3 days after an incredible victory against the French team (5-4).

The defensive problems of the Roja cannot be decorated in the scenario of the meeting, since the European champions led 4-0 then 5-1 before having a relaxation which could have cost them dearly. Can this match encourage Luis de la Fuente to reshape his defense? This is not the trend.

Spain struck hard against the Blues.

Faced with the Blues, it was mainly the entrants who have lost points. Spain should still be articulated around a defense Normand-Huijsen, despite the latter's youth. Cucurella is also expected on its side.

Yamal still long awaited

In the midfield, the strong point of this selection, the Merino-Pedri-Fabian Ruiz trio should be renewed thanks to its alloy of technicality and impact.

Finally, in front, Spain will still rely on its two arrows, the incredible virtuoso Lamine Yamal and the very impactful Nico Williams. Two artists capable of exceptional dazzling whose profiles marry the experienced Oyarzabal.

The expected composition for Spain: Simon; Porro, the Normand, Huijsen, Cucurella; Merino, Fabian, Pedri; Yamal, Oyarzabal, Williams.
