Spain boss Luis Enrique was full of praise for his players as they clinched a 4-0 win over Georgia.
Victory for Spain offered a perfect response to their 2-1 defeat in Stockholm and Enrique was delighted at full time.
“Today is a good day. Even if it seemed like an easy result, it was not. You cannot beat Georgia without putting pressure on them”, as per reports from Diario AS.
“They made six changes compared to the previous game, although the result makes it look easy, it was not.
“We have played a very complete game. We have scored four with the possibility of scoring even more goals.”
