Munich will play host to this huge UEFA Nations League final, as La Roja look to add another trophy to the cabinet against their Iberian neighbours. But who holds the edge historically in this long-standing rivalry?<\/p><p>With several young superstars like Lamine Yamal, Pedri and Nico Williams transforming the setup, Spain start as the favourites to defend their crown over the weekend. Meanwhile, Portugal are also former champions of the <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/tennis\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>tournament<\/a>. Veteran Cristiano Ronaldo will lead the line yet again, after scoring the winner in an upset semifinal victory over Germany.

On the other hand, Spain remains on a 19-match unbeaten run including friendlies since last year. While Roberto Martinez is under pressure to win over the Portuguese fans ahead of the World Cup, de la Fuente will have other ideas.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spain vs Portugal Head to Head Record<\/h2><p>As per official records, Spain and Portugal have faced off in the Iberian Derby on 40 separate occasions.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport. And if you\u2019re a fan of Roger Federer, Lionel Messi and\/or Stephen Curry - I\u2019m your guy. \u00a0","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sankalphk","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sankalp-hk-660254215"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/sankalp\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61741"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61741"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61741\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62346,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61741\/revisions\/62346"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
