As a prelude to the Club World Cup and just one week after the Champions League final between PSG and Inter, Munich hosts a new final that will bring Europe to a standstill.
Spain and Portugal meet in the last match of the Nations League with the chance to claim what would be their second title.
While Spain comes in as the winner of the last Nations League, the Portuguese took home the first trophy several years ago with the same star they have now: Cristiano Ronaldo.
