Spain won the UEFA Nations League final on Sunday after a remarkable 5-4 victory over France on Thursday. Sometimes it was not easy in front of Luis de la Fuente, but the only thing that counts is the victory. This is how the European champions were doing in Stuttgart.
The goalkeeper of the Athletic Club may have admitted perhaps four times, but he was excellent. He kept Spain control with a series of important saves during the 90 minutes in Germany.
It is again an overwhelming version in a Spain sweater for Porro. He gave the fine that caused the late revival of France.
Unspression performance of Le Normand, whose replacement was followed in the 77th minute by France who scored three times.
Very good first half performance of the new Real Madrid man, but he loses figures because he is part of the defense that has admitted four times.
Cucurella continues to settle as the best left back in Spain. He faced Ousmane Dembele, and for the most part he used him well.
He was excellent in helping Spain to control the first 65/70 minutes, which again proves that he is a more than capable backup for Rodri Hernandez.
Good performance by Merino, who scored Spain's second of the evening. He was not afraid to continue, and so he got his goal.
There is no doubt that Pedri is better in a deeper role, but it was still an accomplished performance of the 22-year-old, who was the most advanced midfielder in Spain. He scored a good cause after a good link-up game with Nico Williams.
What else can be said about Lamine Yamal? He produced a new world -class performance on the biggest stage, because he scored twice and also won a penalty. Again, he walked the walk after the conversation.
Nico was again a big threat to Spain and he scored a nice opener in Stuttgart.
The real Sociedad captain seems to have settled as the starting striker of Spain, which deserves. He was excellent and aimed La Roja on two goals for Nico and Merino.
Struggled to make an impact during his 30 -minute cameee.
Did it do well enough after he had come up, although he had trouble having the same impact as Pedri.
Luis de la Fuente's decision to bring Vivian almost cost Spain because it was restless the defense. He scored his own goal that brought the match back to 5-3.
Missed a big chance to score the sixth of Spain. Apart from that, he was hardly involved.
Came in the 90th minute and took a yellow card for different opinions.
