Real Madrid's victory in the Champions League final on Saturday did not quite bring the curtain down on the football season in Europe, with the action continuing into June as France begins their defence of the UEFA Nations League title. Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland and Wales have all declared an interest in hosting the semi-finals and final of the tournament in June next year. Other notable Nations League matches will include Spain hosting Portugal in Seville in Group A2, and the meeting between neighbours Belgium and the Netherlands in Group A4. If Scotland wins that, they will face Wales in Cardiff on Sunday for a place in Qatar, but they are still due to play three more Nations League matches after that, two against Armenia and one versus the Republic of Ireland in Group B1. Didier Deschamps' side will be preparing for their defence of the World Cup but they are also defending the Nations League crown they won last October when they defeated Spain in the final in Milan. The decision to move the World Cup in Qatar to the end of the year could have provided an opportunity for players to have an extended off-season break, but instead, international action will go on until the middle of the month with teams playing up to four matches each.
