Spain secured a spot in the UEFA Nations League Final Four after a thrilling penalty shootout victory over Netherlands, a match full of emotions that was decided in the final moment. 

A Victory Full of Relief

After a 2-2 draw in the first leg in Rotterdam, Spain arrived at the return leg in Mestalla with the pressure to secure a win. In a first half full of drama, Mikel Oyarzabal put Spain ahead with a penalty, but Memphis Depay equalized for the Dutch early in the second half. It was a back-and-forth encounter, but Oyarzabal restored Spain's lead before Ian Maatsen equalized again, making it 2-2.

The tension increased during extra time, but Unai Simón emerged as the hero, saving a penalty in sudden death. With the qualification secured, the players of La Roja didn’t just celebrate in the locker room, but also on social media, creating a memorable moment.

The Viral Dance That Took Over the Internet

During the celebrations, Lamine Yamal posted a video on his TikTok account, where he was seen dancing alongside Nico Williams and Samu Aghehowa, his teammates in the Spanish national team. The trio let loose to the rhythm of Skales' song "Shake Body," and their dance quickly went viral, reaching nearly 10 million views in just a few hours.

The video showcases the excellent chemistry between the young players of La Roja, who, despite the tensions of the match, showed their relaxed and fun side. This gesture reflects the positive atmosphere within Spain's camp, where camaraderie and good humor prevail, even after a hard-fought battle on the pitch.

With this qualification, Spain will face France on June 5 in Stuttgart, in a much-anticipated semifinal. The winners will meet in the final on June 8 against the victor of the other tie between Germany and Portugal. No doubt, the Final Four promises to be a celebration of European football.

This dance was not only a release for Yamal, who recently faced criticism for his style of dress, but also a way to celebrate an important victory. With the championship in sight, Spain is gearing up to show that they are stronger than ever, with players like Yamal, Williams, and Pedri leading a generation that excites fans across the nation.
