Spain’s UEFA Nations League campaign continues on home soil against Croatia on Tuesday, with a hero’s welcome in store for the world champions.
La Roja are competing on home soil for the first time since Ferran Torres’ extra-time strike stitched a second star on their jersey at MetLife Stadium. Spain eased into the World Cup and discovered its best form when it mattered most, bypassing France with relative ease in the semifinals before grinding out a slender triumph in the showpiece event against a rugged Argentina.
