Spain is set to host Croatia in a UEFA Nations League Group A3 match, featuring a compelling generational battle between Spain's 19-year-old Lamine Yamal and Croatia's 41-year-old Luka Modric. Both nations enter the fixture following opening victories; Spain secured a 3-2 comeback win against England, while Croatia triumphed 2-1 over Czechia. World champions Spain, currently on a remarkable 39-game winning streak, are vying for their second Nations League title.
