Luis de la Fuente can finally breathe a sigh of relief. After a week of medical reports, doubts and controversy, the Spain manager has confirmed that Lamine Yamal is ready to face England, and that the Barcelona star will be present in the decisive match that will determine who tops the group.
Spain once again proved they speak only the language of victory, as the world champions left the Czech capital with a precious win that preserved their perfect record, tightened their grip on the top of the group, and extended their unstoppable run of victories, confirming that Spanish dominance is not merely a phase but a complete project that wants to seize everything, from the World Cup to the Nations League.
Spain kept their perfect Nations League record intact with a 2-0 win over ten-man Czechia at the epet Arena, as Alex Baena's penalty and a stoppage-time strike from substitute Marc Pubill settled the contest in Prague.
On a far from ordinary night in Prague, Spain came away with a hard-fought 2-0 win over the Czech Republic, in a match that had everything: Spanish dominance, a controversial penalty, a disallowed goal, a Czech chance that nearly turned the tables, and a sending-off that tipped the balance of the contest.
