England, meanwhile, will look to establish themselves against one of Europe's strongest national teams. Matches between high-level sides provide coaches with an important opportunity to assess their teams under significant competitive pressure.

The Nations League also gives national teams meaningful fixtures outside major tournaments. Instead of relying exclusively on friendlies, managers can test their tactical plans in matches with competitive consequences.

The meeting between England and Spain therefore offers more than individual star power. It is also a tactical contest between two teams with ambitions at the highest level.

Supporters will be watching how both managers approach possession, pressing and transitions. The performance of young players such as Yamal could become one of the defining elements of the match, but the overall tactical battle will be equally important.
