Strangely enough, France are probably relieved to be facing La Roja rather than wily Italy, and Spain's somewhat lightweight central defenders may be happier up against Les Bleus' starry but erratic front trio instead of Romelu Lukaku.

In other words, this is a game that both sides will feel they should win. 

Kylian Mbappé was the driving force as France overturned a 2-0 half-time deficit against Belgium, Karim Benzema and Theo Hernández scoring either side of the PSG man to complete the job.

But France looked vulnerable on the break throughout, and though Luis Enrique prefers to dominate possession, in Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo they have a pair of nippy forwards capable of bursting through and a man who can serve up opportunities in a silver platter in Mikel Oyarzabal.

This should be a cracker, so follow our guide to get a France vs Spain live stream and watch the UEFA Nations League final online from anywhere this weekend.
