Reporter's view

Graham Hunter, match reporter: European champions Spain are on a 22-match unbeaten run, but they rarely get easy wins against the Netherlands. With left-back Jorrel Hato suspended, Ronald Koeman will have to improvise a little, while Luis de la Fuente has Ayoze Pérez suspended and a difficult choice as to whether Pau Cubarsí (who came off injured in the first half in Rotterdam) can start. Koeman won the Copa Del Rey with Valencia during his time at this stadium, but he will not be expecting much support from La Roja fans. Will that fervent atmosphere help Spain progress to their third successive Nations League Final Four? They look slight favourites – but bank on it being dramatic.

What the coaches say

Luis de la Fuente, Spain coach: "I couldn't have asked for more from these players [in the first leg]. We're up against a great opponent. We won more duels, we finished well and we weren't at the mercy of our opponent. They're very powerful, and it was a match worthy of a final. I would like to especially thank the city of Valencia for its welcome and support. I am sure the atmosphere tomorrow will be historic. They will push us with almost supernatural strength."

Ronald Koeman, Netherlands coach: "I expect another match of high intensity. Both teams can also learn from last Thursday, with things that can be improved. The result was 2-2, but there were many moments when Spain were under pressure. We can still do better, but I was satisfied with Thursday. I think that was our best performance so far from my second spell as national coach."

What's next?

The winner of this match-up will advance to the Final Four and face the winner of Croatia and France's quarter-final tie in the semi-finals.

The semi-finals will take place on Wednesday 4 and Thursday 5 June 2025 to decide who contests the final and the third-place match on Sunday 8.

The final tournament will be hosted by the winners of the quarter-final between Italy and Germany.
