Luis de la Fuente, the head coach of the Spanish national football team, announced on Thursday that Spain's primary objective is to win the UEFA Nations League. During a draw event in Brussels, he expressed confidence in his team's abilities while acknowledging the strength of their competition, which includes Croatia, England, and the Czech Republic. De la Fuente made it clear that Spain's focus is on competing with the intent to claim the trophy, emphasizing the prestige of the tournament.

Spain enters the competition as the defending European champions, having lost in the finals of the previous season's Nations League to Portugal in a penalty shootout, while the prior year they won the title against Croatia. De la Fuente highlighted the importance of the Nations League and the responsibility that comes with representing Spain, stating that the only acceptable mindset is to fight until the end for the trophy. Such aspirations are expected to raise the standards of performance in the upcoming matches.

In addition to De la Fuente's comments, England's head coach Thomas Tuchel also participated in the discussions, acknowledging the difficulty of their group. De la Fuente remarked on the strong competition from England and the Czech Republic, underlining that such teams will challenge Spain to deliver their best performances. He concluded by stressing that talk means little compared to what happens on the pitch, urging his players to demonstrate their capabilities in the competition ahead.
