Winners of the inaugural Nations League title in 2019, Portugal have the opportunity to lead the way again as they тАУ like Spain тАУ bid to become the first two-time winners of the competition. Roberto Mart├нnez's side remain in Munich for the final after ousting hosts Germany with a turnaround victory, Cristiano Ronaldo rolling in the winner after Francisco Concei├з├гo's stunning leveller. Facing Spain will bring back fond memories for the 40-year-old Ronaldo, who struck a hat-trick during a memorable encounter between the sides at the World Cup in 2018 тАУ a haul that, if repeated on Sunday, would take him past Viktor Gy├╢keres as the top scorer of this Nations League campaign.
Holders Spain have the opportunity to earn major international honours for a third consecutive year, Luis de la Fuente having already guided them to Nations League glory in 2023 and a European Championship in 2024. It was not hard to see why La Roja have proved so unstoppable as they roared into a 4-0 lead against France, but some vulnerability was exposed as Les Bleus fought back and only narrowly lost 5-4. Resolving some of those issues ahead of Sunday could be pivotal, Mikel Merino warning of Portugal's threat: "They're another team of incredible quality тАУ just look at the starting XI and the squad."

Portugal: Diogo Costa; N├йlson Semedo, R├║ben Dias, Gon├зalo In├бcio, Nuno Mendes; Vitinha, Bruno Fernandes, Jo├гo Neves; Bernardo Silva, Ronaldo, Pedro Neto
