The Spanish national team triumphed over the Croatians in the Nations League with a score of 4:1.

After the match, the Spanish head coach Luis de la Fuente singled out a player he would like to see in this national team:

He is a very good footballer and it is a pity that he does not have the citizenship of this country.”

"I really like the way this German plays.”

Florian Wirtz scored seven goals in 49 matches for Liverpool.

He has been playing for the German national team since 2021 and has played 46 matches.
