The 3️⃣ key questions ahead of the Nations League grand final | OneFootball

As a prelude to the Club World Cup and just one week after the Champions League final between PSG and Inter, Munich hosts a new final that will bring Europe to a standstill.

Spain and Portugal meet in the last match of the Nations League with the chance to claim what would be their second title.

While Spain comes in as the winner of the last Nations League, the Portuguese took home the first trophy several years ago with the same star they have now: Cristiano Ronaldo.

For their part, Spain arrives with a new sensation who has shone above all others this season at just 17 years old: Lamine Yamal.

Here are 3 questions that could be key in today’s match.

Lamine Yamal and the big games

Finals are for great players, and Lamine has already proven that he is one.

Crucial in the Super Cup and Copa finals this year, he already assisted Nico in the first of two goals against England in the EURO.

He’s a kid made of something different and rises to the occasion in important matches, as he already showed against France in the semifinals. Will he be decisive again?

CR7, hungrier than ever

It’s been four years since Ronaldo last lifted a major trophy, and today he faces his big moment.

Scorer against Germany, the striker wants to take advantage of his good form to deal the final blow to a Spain side that, let’s remember, has conceded 11 goals in their last four matches.

Showdown of playmakers in midfield

Pedri and Vitinha face off in what is probably the duel between the two best midfielders of the season.

Two players of a superlative level, capable of pulling the strings for their respective teams, will contest the most important duel of the night: the battle for the ball.

Will the Canary Islander be able to prevail against a Champions League winner?
