“We need to be the Spain that brought us here,” said Irene Paredes on the eve of this grand final. A Spain that, in the past two years, has reached four finals, won a World Cup, earned a European runners-up medal, ascended to number one in the FIFA ranking, and lifted a Nations League trophy. Now, the team has the opportunity to win it for a second consecutive time. In 2024, the triumph came against France at La Cartuja. Today, it could happen at the Metropolitano—against Germany.

The 0–0 draw in the first leg at Kaiserslautern’s Fritz-Walter-Stadion means that all will be decided at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, which will be nearly full as it watches Spain compete, fight, and chase a title to close the year on the highest possible note. It will be the team’s second final in barely four months—an achievement reserved for only a select few. On the pitch of the red-and-white stadium, the stars will gather to showcase their talent and attempt to overcome the German side in a match that, as Sonia Bermúdez warned, “will come down to the fine details.”

This evening at 18:30, live on La 1 (TVE), and officiated by Italian referee Silvia Gasperotti, the decisive match that will crown the 2025 Nations League champions will kick off. Aitana Bonmatí will miss the final due to injury, but Spain is “fully prepared,” in the words of the head coach. The team will also count on an extra player: the crowd. Nearly 70,000 supporters will roar from the stands, pushing the team toward victory and toward celebrating the title together.

Here are the squad numbers for the match at the Metropolitano.

Spain has the chance to close out this outstanding 2025 with a golden flourish, adding another trophy to its cabinet. For the fans, for every player who has contributed, fought, and helped shape what Spain is today… for all of them, Spain must give absolutely everything.
