Montse Tomé on facing Portugal: “These are two important games for us, we started the Nations League with the aim of being first in the group.
“Portugal is a very competitive team. They have been with the same coach for many years, and have been reinventing themselves. Most recently, in the Nations League, they draw against England and earned three points against Belgium. We know this team very well although personally I have not faced it. The team is a mixture of players who play in different leagues, five play in this league and we know them. We know the Portuguese league, we have Martín-Prieto and we have worked hard in this league.”
