Spain are in a run of an impressive 20-game unbeaten run across all competitions (W15, D5) and are looking to become the first team to retain the UEFA Nations League since the tournament began in 2018. 

They managed 16 points from a possible 18 points in the group stage. Then, they knocked out the Netherlands in the quarter-final in penalties after an exciting two-legged contest

But Luis de la Fuente's side will be without the current Ballon d'Or winner Rodri, who is still undergoing his recovery at Manchester City. Along with Rodri, Spain will also miss the services of Ferran Torres, who underwent surgery for appendicitis.

France, on the other hand, accumulated 13 points to finish top of League A Group 2. In the quarter-finals, they then made a huge comeback in the second leg to win from a 0-2 position against Croatia. 

Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembele were the scorers for France that night before Mike Maignan saved a penalty kick to hand them a place in the semis.

Didier Deschamps will have Champions League player of the final, Desire Doue, and Champions League player of the season, Ousmane Dembele, at hand to go full throttle against Spain. However, in defence, he will miss Upamecano, William Saliba and Jules Kounde.  Benjamin Pavard and Malo Gusto will then fight to replace them, alongside Ibrahim Konate being an obvious choice for the left-back role. 

Kylian Mbappe, alongside Rayan Cherki, would be France's strikers' option for Deschamps.
