Spain National football team

AS honorary president Alfredo Relaño reacts to Spain's 2-1 defeat to France in the final of the UEFA Nations League on Sunday.

I like the Nations League

Luis Enrique's Spain outclassed one of the strongest Italy sides of recent times, the European champions in their own back yard writes Alfredo Relaño.

Alfredo Relaño offers his thoughts on Luis Enrique's Spain squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League finals, which begin with a semi-final against Italy.

Spain, Greece and Sweden are all in a position to top Group B and Luis Enrique has defensive issues to resolve before taking on both in November.

It was easier to define Spain before and during tiki-taka but Luis Enrique's side lack sufficient identity for the fan in the street to form an opinion.

Luis Enrique said after the defeat in Sweden that he was pleased with his team, but when it came to deciding starters this time, he gave the pack a good shuffle.
