Spain and France both made two changes to their teams for the Nations League final at the San Siro stadium on Sunday. Luis Enrique opted to bring in Barcelona centre half Eric Garcia to replace Pau Torres while Manchester City's Rodri came in for Koke in midfield.

Striker Ferran Torres, who was an injury doubt, starts as the central striker after scoring both goals in the 2-1 semi-final win over Italy. France also made a switch at the back with Presnel Kimpembe replacing Lucas Hernandez in the centre of defence while in midfield Monaco's Aurelien Tchouameni was drafted in for Adrien Rabiot who was ruled out after testing positive for COVID-19.
