France and Spain clash in the UEFA Nations League semifinal tonight, reigniting a budding rivalry with both teams aiming for their second title. Kickoff is set for 1 AM local time.
The semifinal match in Stuttgart brings back memories of their 2021 and 2023 finals, each decided by a 2-1 scoreline — one in favor of France, the other of Spain.
Both sides are missing key players: Spain will be without Rodri, Dani Carvajal, and Aymeric Laporte, while France are missing Saliba, Koundé, Upamecano, and Camavinga due to injuries.
Spain’s lineup is likely to feature young talents like Lamine Yamal and defenders Dean Huijsen and Pau Cubarsi, while France might rest Champions League finalists Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué.
The winner moves one step closer to a second Nations League crown.
