You have to modify the content/title of the link. As the docs point out, this is the first parameter of HtmlHelper->link(). To add the span inside your a tag you have 2 options.

Add the Span in the Link

You could either modify it directly and set the escape options to false:

<li id="Tiempo">
    <?= $this->Html->link('<span class="label label-success ml-10">' . $entiempo . '</span>', ['action' => 'index', 'Tiempo'], ['escape' => false]) ?>
</li>

Modify the template

Or you modify the template HtmlHelper uses.

$this->Html->setTemplates([
    'link' => '<a href="{{url}}"{{attrs}}><span class="label label-success ml-10">{{content}}</span></a>',
]);

and use the link() method like this:

<?= $this->Html->link($entiempo, ['action' => 'index', 'Tiempo']) ?>
