Published

on

ALL eyes will be on Portugal and Spain when they go toe-to-toe in the standout Nations League fixture of Group A2 – and it is not to be missed.

Cristiano Ronaldo captained his country to the first ever Nations League triumph in 2019.

And the Manchester United legend will be eager to do it once more despite being off the pace this season at club level.

However, Luis Enrique’s men have unfinished business with this tournament having marginally lost in the 2021 final to France.

But Spain have to navigate their way past Portugal first which is an encounter that has ended as a draw on the past four occassions.
