As England prepares to defend their European title with a crucial match against world champions Spain, they are looking to regain form after a disappointing loss in the Women's World Cup final. The upcoming Nations League matches will be pivotal, as both teams have emerged as powerhouses in women's football. Coach Sarina Wiegman, who has struggled against Spain in her career, needs a victory not just for morale but as a step toward the upcoming Euros. England's confidence has dipped recently, making this game crucial for their aspirations.
Facing off this time in the Nations League, they must play each other twice before this summer's showpiece event.
A victory would then lay down a marker ahead of the summer, but Spain are world champions for a reason, and will provide the sternest of tests.
The rivalry between England and Spain is growing, with both nations having shaken up the elite of women's football with their major tournament victories.
Sarina Wiegman has faced Spain on six occasions as a coach, and only once has she tasted victory - even then she needed extra time to win.
