Spain meet the Czech Republic in the most intriguing Nations League tie of the day

They came from behind twice in Prague, with the second one on the verge of the stoppage time, to clinch a deserved draw. However, tonight, at La Rosaleda stadium in Malaga, Luis Enrique's slot is looking for a win against the stubborn Czech Republic led by West Ham star Tomas Soucek.

What seems almost certain is that Barcelona offspring Gavi will enjoy some rest after playing three games in one week.

"Gavi has a lot to improve on and off the pitch, " said Spanish coach Luis Enrique and that phrase stunned everyone in the press room of La Rosaleda while the journalists looked at each other.

Anyhow, the truth is that Gavi has deserved some fresh air after his brilliant performance against Portugal, Czech Republic and Switzerland. Still, there are plenty of other big names in the starting lineup, like Rodri, Marcos Alonso, and Dani Olmo, that promise lots of action and goals in the Czech net.
