Luis De la Fuente will field the same lineup that defeated France in the semifinals, with Unai Simon in goal and Porro, Cubarsí, Laporte, and Cucurella on defense. In midfield, Rodri and Fabian Ruiz will dictate the pace of the game, with Yamal, Olmo, and Baena playing further forward. Oyarzabal will lead the attack.

Lionel Scaloni will also stick with the same lineup as in the match against England, confirming Alvarez alongside Lionel Messi. Behind them are Simeone, Fernández, and MacAllister, with Leandro Paredes a few meters further back. Tagliafico and Molina are the fullbacks, with Martínez and Romero in the center. Dibu Martínez is in goal.
