Does anyone remember a competition called League of Nations? Clues: it was played in September, October and November 2018, just after the World Cup in Russia. It was the debut of Luis Enrique , which generated enthusiasm winning in Wembley to England (1-2) and beating Croatia (6-0). So much illusion generated as disappointment he came, because he lost with England at home (2-3) and with Croatia in Zagreb (3-2). It was, to sum up a lot, the competition that UEFA invented two years ago to avoid inconsequential friendlies .

Well, next fall the second edition of the tournament is played , which beyond its low prestige, beyond its bisoñez, causes attractive confrontations. This Tuesday the draw took place in Amsterdam and, to go to the nearest, Spain has been framed in Group 4 of League A with Germany, Switzerland and Ukraine .

There will, therefore, be a double duel with those of Joachim Löw that will presumably mark the leadership of the group. Because, it should be remembered, the competition system dictates that the first four of the League A groups play a Final-Four from June 2 to 6, 2021 in a city to be determined.

The last four, by the way, go down to League B (there are also Leagues C and D). It will be therefore official competition that the team of Luis Enrique must face two months after finishing the Eurocup (from June 12 to July 12).
