The 2019 UEFA Nations League has almost reached a conclusion and the identities of the final four teams are known.
The inaugural edition of the revolutionary European tournament has already seen multiple promotions and relegations confirmed, with a few surprises emerging, but it doesn't end there.
Things continue in 2019 as the top team in the continent is crowned, with a knock-out round to decide the competition winner.
With the groups at an end, Goal takes a look at who has qualified for the finals, when they will take place and everything you need to know.
Qualified teams
Four teams have confirmed their places in the Nations League finals.
England topped Group 4 ahead of Spain and Croatia to advance, while Portugal progressed after coming out on top of Group 3, which also contained Italy and Poland.
Switzerland are the surprise winners of Group 2, with a 5-2 victory over Belgium in their last group match sending them into the final four.
Netherlands completed the finalists after a dramatic late equaliser against Germany saw them leapfrog France in their group - a major revival after the Dutch missing out on the last two major tournaments.

The teams who qualify for the finals will already have pocketed €4.5 million (£4m/$5.1m) for reaching that stage.
That figure is arrived at by combining the €2.25m solidarity payment with the €2.25m group winners bonus and they will be further rewarded depending on their performance in the finals.
| Final position | Bonus |
|---|---|
| Winner | €6m |
| Runner-up | €4.5m |
| Third | €3.5m |
| Fourth | €2.5m |
The overall winner of the tournament will pocket an extra €6m (£5.3m/$6.8m), meaning they would walk away with a total of €10.5m (£9.3m/$12m) from the Nations League.
In addition to their solidarity and group winners' payments, runners-up receive €4.5m (£4m/$5.1m), third place gets €3.5m (£3.1m/$4m) and fourth receives a €2.5m (£2.2m/$2.8m) payout.
