Spain vs England: Latest Lionesses updates from Women's Nations League
Good evening and welcome to Telegraph Sport's coverage of yet another World Cup final rematch as England face Spain in the Nations League in Barcelona. Tonight's fixture will be England's last competitive outing before Sarina Wiegman announces her Euro 2025 squad this Thursday. While Wiegman's side will carry an air of confidence after pummeling Portugal 6-0 last Friday, Spain dispatched Belgium 5-1 on the same night to stay on the top spot in group A3. Only the group winners make it through to the Nations League semi-finals so England must win if they are to progress to the last four. Spain can go through with a draw. Before the match, Lucy Bronze said: 'We know how to beat Spain and they equally know how to beat us – it's two top teams going head-to-head.' England's adaptability and depth will be crucial, especially as they are without Millie Bright and Lauren James – and Mary Earps, following last week's international retirement. On the positive side, Ella Toone and Alessia Russo are back in the mix for tonight's game after returning from calf injuries. The last time these two teams met in February, England won 1-0 to avenge their 2023 World Cup final defeat – but Spain are unbeaten at home to England in all competitions. The pressure is on: a win would not only ensure the Lionesses advance to October's knockout stage, but would also mean they go into their Euros title defence with momentum.
