Spain
Spain were minutes away from missing out on a second consecutive semi-final appearance. Alvaro Morata’s late winner against Portugal secured the top spot in Group A2 for La Roja. Spain had reached the final of the last version of the UNL and lost to France by 2-1.
Italy
Italy had their 37-match unbeaten run ended by Spain in the 2021 UNL semi-finals. The Azzurri restored some pride after failing to qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup by winning Group A3 of the UNL topping England Germany and Hungary. Roberto Mancini will be looking to bounce back from the Euro 2024 qualifier defeat against England in March.
