Spain and Portugal meet in a battle of Iberian nations to settle the latest edition of the Nations League.

Talismanic forwards young and old, respectively, helped settle two competitive semi-finals as Lamine Yamal and Cristiano Ronaldo helped their side progress, the Barcelona teenager in fine form in a nine-goal thriller against France and veteran Ronaldo scoring the winner against hosts Germany.

It sets up an encounter between two former competition champions as Spain defend their title and Portugal return to the final for the first time since their 2019 success.

This will be the 41st international fixture between the pair, with the derby always hotly-contested.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Team news

Luis de la Fuente hinted after Spain’s semi-final win that any changes to the Spain team would be minimal. “There’s not a lot I have to change for Sunday,” De La Fuente remarked, though the manager may consider bringing Fabian Ruiz back into the starting side.
