Preview: Portugal vs Spain
Portugal and Spain are both looking to clinch their second UEFA Nations League crown when they meet in the 2025 final on Sunday. The Iberian neighbours will lock horns in the showpiece event in Munich and it was Portugal that denied Germany a home final on Wednesday. Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 137th international goal to complete a quick-fire comeback after Florian Wirtz had opened the scoring in the semifinal. Having won the competition back in 2019, they are aiming for some more silverware. Spain are eager to defend their Nations League crown when they meet Portugal having overcome France in a nine-goal thriller in the semifinal. While La Roja almost surrendered a four-goal advantage in the closing half-hour, they scraped by in the end to book another appearance in an international final. It’s been quite the few years for Luis de la Fuente, who guided Spain to Euro 2024 glory last summer and won the Nations League in 2023.
