I’m going to take a look at what’s cooking on the internet about the Spanish national team and the Nations League, which starts in a moment.

Well, there’s hardly any time left for the national team to return and I’m already in the football mood. 😅 After the World Cup piece that La Roja gave us, with that game that has won over half the planet, we need to see if the machinery is still greased or if the champions’ hangover will hit us. The Nations League 2026-27 starts this same September and there’s already a big debate: total rotation or go for the title to complete the treble (Euro, World Cup, and Nations League)?
The upcoming calendar 🔥
Spain enters the fight in the Nations League A group, and the rivals are no slouches. Lamine Yamal’s crew already have the first dates of a September that promises.
From my point of view, there are two ways to see it. Those who say the Nations League is the "little brother" of the titles and that we should give rest to those coming from the World Cup... and those of us who think a squad that has won two consecutive Euros and a World Cup has a hunger that no one can take away. Who said you can’t win EVERYTHING? 🤑
⚠️ Note, the national team plays in a group with rivals that will make it very, very difficult. It won’t be a walk in the park.
The champion’s data 🏆
Competition | Spain’s titles | Last title | Fun fact |
|---|---|---|---|
World Cup | 2 (2010, 2026) | 2026 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇲🇽 | First World Cup with 48 teams |
Euro | 4 (1964, 2008, 2012, 2024) | 2024 🇩🇪 | Only team with 2 consecutive Euros |
Nations League | 1 (2023) | 2023 🇳🇱 | Unbeaten Champions in the Final Stage |
I mean, the only title Spain still needs in the recent era is the Nations League... and they already won it in 2023! They want to repeat. If they win, it would be a complete sweep.
The Debate: Lamine and the Starting XI
What will give the most playtime is managing Lamine Yamal's minutes. The kid came from a BRUTAL World Cup and Barça already wants him back with the league starting. Do we start him in September or keep him in reserve?
And already, what do we do with the veterans? Because the new generation is pushing hard behind. I really like what I've seen from the youngsters in the lower categories, but I don't know if it's time to mix or to continue the World Cup XI.
Key fact:Spain stringstwo consecutive Euro Cups (2024 and 2012)and arrives asWorld Champion 2026. Only France in 1998-2000 had consecutive World Cup+Euro Cup wins... and now Spain has the chance to achieve an unprecedented treble with the Nations League.
What will you do with the national team in the Nations League? Rest for the heavyweights or go for the sweep? I have it clear:go for the sweep, but understanding that some players need rest. Vote! 🔥👇
{"title":"What should Spain do in the Nations League 2026-27?","options":["Go for the title YES or YES, complete sweep", "Rotate a lot and give minutes to the new generation", "Half and half: mix starters and youngsters", "I don't care about the Nations League, I just want to see Lamine"]}
My personal bet is thehalf and half. I think there's a block of players who need rest (those who reached the end of the World Cup), but the team's core must keep running to maintain identity. And hey, don't underestimate the Nations League: if Spain wins it, it would be the first team in history to have aWorld Cup, Euro Cup and Nations League in the same cycle. That is writing golden pages. 📖✨
And you? Do you prefer to see the headlines or do you want the new ones to come in? I want to see the next World Cup MVP, even if it's just 20 minutes! 😂
