✔️ 2022-06-01 17:47:53 – Paris/France.
Spain welcomes Portugal in a new edition of the Iberian Derby Thursday, on this occasion in the UEFA Nations League. Luis Enrique's team was vice-champion of France in the finals last season and hopes to be in the game again this campaign, although La Roja are something of a transition team at the moment and a far cry from the strength they were on the world stage ten years ago, despite making the Euro semi-finals. Portugal, meanwhile, won the first Nations League in 2018-19 and will use the continental kick-off to fine-tune the World Cup later in the year, which will in all likelihood be Cristiano Ronaldo's latest attempt to add the greatest of prizes to his and his country's laurels.
