Saul comes to the foreSaul has 12 caps for SpainAtletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez scored in both of Spain's Nations League wins in a new-look midfield following the retirements of Andres Iniesta and David Silva. The 23-year-old started both games despite being an unused substitute throughout the World Cup. "Spain looked more direct and incisive but they actually passed the same amount of times as against Russia in the World Cup," Balague said. Who was to blame for the World Cup exit? Spain were one of the favourites for the World Cup after an unbeaten qualifying campaign which included nine wins and one draws.
