Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente praised his team's performance following their emphatic victory over Croatia.
Spain defeated Croatia 4-1 in the second matchday of the UEFA Nations League.
De la Fuente said in comments to beIN Sports after the match: "We are extremely happy, not just because of the result, but also because of the impressions we leave with our games. We are one family, and that is what distinguishes this group."
He continued, "We showed that we are a strong team with plenty of talent. Everything difficult seems easy at these players' feet, and we must keep moving forward."
Regarding securing a second consecutive win in the UEFA Nations League, he stated, "We have great ambition and never tire of winning."
Spain had won their first match against England on English soil and in front of their home fans by 3-2.
De la Fuente added, "We are a complete team defensively, giving opponents no chances, and ferocious offensively. Against Croatia, the first half could have ended with four or five goals."
He further noted, "There is balance between defense and attack, thanks to everything the players contribute."
On Lamine Yamal, Spain's coach said, "He is a different player who makes the difference, but beyond his talent, he plays collectively. We are happy to have him and his talent at the team's disposal."
Lamine Yamal scored two of his team's four goals against Croatia.
Concluding on the possibility of him winning the Ballon d'Or, he said, "There is a lot of ambition, and we never get tired of winning."
