• Holders Spain drawn against the Netherlands in Nations League quarters

  Reigning champions Spain have been drawn against the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of the Nations League.  

  Spain won five of their six games in Group A4, and will face the Dutch for the first time in a competitive match since their 5-1 defeat at the World Cup in 2014. 

  France, who emerged victorious in the 2020-21 edition of the Nations League, will take on Croatia in a repeat of their World Cup final meeting six years ago. 

  Germany will face Italy while Portugal, who were the inaugural winners of the tournament, were drawn against Denmark, with the two-legged fixtures taking place in March. 

  The semi-finals are single legs which will get underway in June, with the third-place play-off and final to be played three days later.

  European champions Spain, Portugal and Germany topped their groups without losing a game to go into the seeded teams' pot along with France.

  The winner of Spain's enticing tie with the Netherlands will play either France or Croatia, while Cristiano Ronaldo will be looking to inspire Portugal to a second title. 

  Only Sweden's Viktor Gyokeres (nine), Norway's Erling Haaland (seven) and Romania's Razvan Marin (six) have scored more goals in this year's edition than Ronaldo (five). 

  Scotland, who finished third in Group A1 behind Portugal and Croatia, will face Greece in a Nations League play-off to remain in the top tier of the competition.

  The other play-off games will see Turkey face Hungary, Ukraine take on Belgium, and Austria square off against Serbia in March. 

• 'We can do things better' - Nagelsmann frustrated as Germany denied win

  Julian Nagelsmann insists Germany "can do things better" after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Hungary due to a last-gasp penalty.

  Felix Nmecha had given the visitors the lead in the 76th minute, but Dominik Szoboszlai equalised in the 99th minute from a controversially given penalty for an alleged handball by Robin Koch.

  Nagelsmann's side had also had a Leroy Sane goal disallowed by VAR before Kai Havertz struck the post moments after coming off the bench.

  While the result of the match had no bearing on the standings – Germany had already secured top spot with a game to spare – it did end a three-game winning run.

  Germany have now scored in their last 12 matches, including friendlies, but Nagelsmann was still left frustrated by the disjointed nature of their performance in Budapest.

  "To be honest, I don't really want to talk about the game. I think we can do things better," he told ZDF.

  "We took too long in the first half to get things together, partly especially in the twenty minutes before the break."

  On the penalty decision, Nagelsmann said: "I spoke to the referee after the game and asked if he also saw the game against Spain [at the Euros]. I don't think he understood what I said.

  "I don't think it was a penalty at all. [Robin] Koch turns away from the shot and draws his hands closer to his body."

  Germany will find out their opponents for the Nations League quarter-finals in Friday's draw.

• Hungary 1-1 Germany: Late penalty forces visitors to settle for a draw

  Germany were denied victory away to Hungary in their final Nations League group game after conceding a 99th-minute equaliser to a Dominik Szoboszlai penalty.

  Julian Nagelsmann made nine changes from Germany's 7-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina last time out, with this match confirmed as a dead rubber before kick-off, and they struggled for fluency in the first half.

  Germany failed to have a shot on target in the opening 45 minutes and lost the xG battle 0.51-0.17.

  Things soon picked up, with Leroy Sane having a goal disallowed following a VAR review before Kai Havertz hit the post with a volley just three minutes later, having only come on as a substitute a minute before. They had their goal after 76 minutes when Felix Nmecha was quickest to react to a rebound to score his first international goal.

  But Hungary were not to be denied after appeals for a penalty in the 97th minute for an alleged handball against Robin Koch. Following a VAR review, the spot kick was given and Szoboszlai earned a point for the hosts.

  Germany's position as winners of Group A3 had already been secured prior to this match, as had Hungary's finishing place of third. Nagelsmann's side will now advance to the Nations League quarter-final, where they will face a second-placed side from League A. Hungary, meanwhile, will face a second-placed side from League B in a relegation play-off.

  Data debrief: Germany keep scoring streak going

  Germany extended their run of scoring in Nations League matches to seven consecutive games with their 1-1 draw in Budapest.

  Nagelsmann's side conclude their group campaign with 18 goals in six matches, helped by their 7-0 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina last time out.

  Following their draw today, Germany have now scored in 12 straight matches, including friendlies.
