The Spaniards are building a new team and have trusted youngsters like Gavi to make them a top country in football again.<\/p>\n
They were in fine form at the Euros and only lost on penalties to the eventual winners, Italy.<\/p>\n
They would now look to win this Nations League trophy, but France would be tough opponents.<\/p>\n
