Portugal vs Spain previewThis game will likely be built up as Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lamine Yamal.

So who are we to change the narrative!?

The 40-year-old and 17-year-old meet on the park in a big final for their countries at the end and beginning of their careers.

And they’re both arriving as the key men for their countries having both scored in the midweek semi finals!

Portugal battled back from a goal down to score twice in five minutes midway through the second half to beat Germany in Munich.

The Portuguese had double the attempts on goal of the hosts, including in a completely one-sided second half.

But one of the best international games in years followed 24 hours later when Spain beat France 5-4 in a Stuttgart stunner.

The Spaniards were 4-0 up after 55 minutes before Kylian Mbappe’s penalty and Yamal scored six minutes later to restore a four-goal lead.

France scored three more in the final 11 minutes to almost complete the sensational comeback but just came up short.

Spain are still unbeaten in competitive games since March 2023, when beaten comprehensively by Scotland.
