The Nations League 2020-21 already has its final draw . The 55 teams that started the adventure have already taken their place after six intense days fighting from one end of Europe to another in the middle of the pandemic. The coronavirus has been the protagonist in the groups. But many studs and scribbles later, the League of Nations already has its final four drawn, its promotions and its relegations definitively.

Italy and Belgium joined Spain and France in the final phase to be played between October 6 and 10 next year. None of the four teams that fought for the title in 2019 in Portugal repeat: Switzerland, Holland, England and the host, who was champion, were left by the way. There will be four newcomers … and a new winner who will expand his record.

Spain, France, Italy and Belgium.

The options of Holland and Poland evaporated, who faced the last act one and two points behind the transalpine leadership waiting for a failure that did not come. The victory of the ‘Oranje’ (1-2) in Polish lands was not enough. Yes it was that of a Belgium that did not slip against Denmark . Roberto Martínez’s team, who on the penultimate day left England by the wayside, defeated Denmark (4-2) in Brussels and sealed their classification in group 2.
