With club football about to close for the year (only the UEFA Conference League final on Wednesday and the Champions League final remain), international football returns with the Nations League and the World Cup qualifiers. While all nations will be fighting to make their way into the US, Mexico and Canada World Cup 2026, like England, there are four countries that could lift a trophy in two weeks: Spain, France, Germany and Portugal, semi-finalists of the Nations League 2025.

Luis de la Fuente, most recent champion both at UEFA Nations League as well as UEFA Euro Cup last year, announced today the squad for the games taking place in Germany. Spain will place France on June 5 (the Switch 2 day, hehe), and the final will be on June 8.

The squad leaves out Ballon d'Or Rodri, who returned to the pitch last week with Manchester City after 8 months sidelined due to injury, reason why the manager has decided to leave him out. Isco Alarcón, renowned midfielder from Betis, returns to the national team. Raúl Asencio has been left out, with Dean Huijsen being the only player from Real Madrid to be included in the national team.
