La Roja have dominated the proceedings against the Portuguese team most of the time.
The Portugal national football team are all set to lock horns with the Spain national football team for the UEFA Nations League final. The high-stakes contest between the two teams will take place at the Allianz Arena.
Roberto Martinez-led Portugal national football team will have a tough competition to face as they take on Spain in the Nations League final. Cristiano Ronaldo and company are coming in after securing a win against Germany after 25 years. The Portuguese have not seen any positive outcomes in their last few matches against the Spaniards.
Portugal won the inaugural UEFA Nations League title and are in the final for the first time since 2019. They will have to come up with their best performance till now, and only then they might go on to defeat Spain.
The Spain national football team are coming in after securing a win against France yet again, and that too in the semi-final stage of a tournament. Luis de la Fuente-led Spain have already won the European championship in 2024. Now they are hunting for their second Nations League title.
They will look to put up a strong fight and might even go on to lift the Nations League title two times in a row. But they will not be underestimating the Portuguese as they have shown a good personality against Germany.
