The club season might be over, but the holidays haven't quite started for 12 of the FC Barcelona squad as they have international matches over the next few days. Those players are the following:

  • Spain: Pau Cubarsí, Pedri, Gavi, Lamine Yamal, Fermín and Dani Olmo.
  • Spain U21: Gerard Martín and Pablo Torre.
  • Germany: Marc-André ter Stegen
  • Netherlands: Frenkie de Jong
  • Brazil: Raphinha
  • Uruguay: Ronald Araujo

WEDNESDAY 11 JUNE 

Slovakia U21 2-3 Spain U21
Gerard Martín played the first half and Pablo Torre got 59 minutes as Spain won the first European U21 Championships group phase match against Slovakia. Tárrega scored the winning goal in the 90th minute after Spain had taken a 0-2 lead in the first half.

TUESDAY 10 JUNE 

Netherlands 8-0 Malta 
Frenkie de Jong played all 90 minutes of the Netherlands' comfortable win over Malta at home in their World Cup qualifying fixture. 

Uruguay 1-0 Venezuela
In Conmebol, Ronald Araujo's Uruguay beat Venezuela 2-0 to stay on good course for the finals, with the Barça player featuring for the full ninety. 

Brazil 1-0 Paraguay
But it's already job done for Brazil and Raphinha, for whom a 1-0 defeat of Paraguay means their place in the finals is mathematically secure, keeping alive their record for being the only country that has appeared at every edition. Raphinha played the whole game.

SUNDAY 8 JUNE

Portugal 2-2 Spain (Portugal win 5-3 on penalties after extra time)
Lamine Yamal and Pedri both started for Spain in the Nations League final against Portugal, helping their national side take the lead twice through Zubimendi and then Oyarzabal from a Pedri assist.

Portugal equalised twice through Mendes and then Cristiano Ronaldo, before the match went right through 30 minutes of extra time and on to penalties. A Costa save from Morata's penalty broke the deadlock before Neves scored the winning spot kick.

Germany 0-2 France
France claimed third place in this edition of the Nations League with the victory. Blaugrana Marc-André ter Stegen played the full match for Germany.

SATURDAY 7 JUNE 

Finland 0-2 Netherlands 
Blaugrana Frenkie de Jong played all 90 minutes of the victory in Helsinki for the Oraanje in the first of their two World Cup qualifiers in the month of June. 

FRIDAY 6 JUNE

Spain U21 0-1 Ukraine U21
Gerard Martín and Pablo Torre played the opening 45 minutes of the defeat in the friendly against Ukraine. 

THURSDAY 5 JUNE

Ecuador 0-0 Brazil
Raphinha sat out Brazil's goalless draw in Guayaquil due to suspension in Carlo Ancelotti's first game as coach of la Canarinha. After 15 games of qualifying, Brazil are in fourth place in the table on 22 points with the top six automatically going through to the World Cup final stages in 2026.

Paraguay 2-0 Uruguay
Barça defender Ronald Araujo played all 90 minutes in Uruguay's defeat in Asunción against Paraguay. The loss leaves Marcelo Bielsa's side in fifth place in the table, a point behind Raphinha's Brazil. 

Spain 5-4 France
Spain have beaten France in a simply extraordinary Nations League semi-final to earn their place in the grand final against Portugal. Lamine Yamal and Pedri were the standout players in the nine-goal spectacular, both starting the game and scoring three of Spain's five goals. Lamine played ninety minutes and scored once from the penalty spot and once from open play while the Canary Islander scored a scorcher before being substituted on 64 minutes.

Dani Olmo and Gavi came on in the 64th and 91st minutes respectively, it being a particularly special day for the latter, who was returning to the national team for the first time since picking up an injury.

WEDNESDAY 4 JUNE

Germany 1-2 Portugal
Despite having home advantage, Ter Stegen and Germany lost their UEFA Nations League semi-final to Portugal. Wirtz had put the Germans ahead just after the break, but two goals in quick succession from Conceição and Cristiano Ronaldo turned things around, and it's Portugal who will face either Spain or France in the final. The Barça goalkeeper played all 90 minutes.
