Portugal vs Spain live updates: Preview, start time, how to watch, line-ups for Nations League match · Can Luis Enrique and Spain rely on players who don't play?

Diogo Dalot scored twice while Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Jota also got on the score sheet. They have won titles recently, like the Euros or the Nations League. Luis Enrique said on Friday that he did not think this lack of minutes at club level was an issue as every player had looked sharp and fit at training throughout the week. Santos has been in charge of Portugal’s national side since 2014 and is more than happy to find a home for the former Real Madrid player in his starting XI. Before the best national sides were tasked with facing opponents of a similar quality between tournaments in the Nations League, any underlying problems could quite easily go under the radar. SC Braga's Municipal Stadium has established a reputation for being one of the most picturesque in Europe and that is where tonight's game is being played. As for Spain, their performance against Switzerland was miles from their best so the raft of changes made by Enrique were expected. A quick reminder that Portugal will qualify for the finals of the Nations League if they can avoid defeat this evening. Among a few more English-based players on the bench, Leao and Felix are the most dangerous that could make an impact from the bench. Although, the Portugal manager would be well within his rights to bench him for crimes against fashion with those glasses! After trying his hardest to leave Manchester United in the summer, he has shown exactly why none of Europe's top clubs felt a move for him was viable. Avoiding defeat will be enough to see Fernando Santos' side into next summer's finals in the Netherlands while only victory can help the visitors into the next stage.

However, we went down and lost the intensity after the 60th minute," Santos told a news conference. "We were really well organised in the first half.
