The coach picked the Sevilla man at right-back instead of his Real Madrid counterpart

Robert Moreno picked a somewhat surprising line up to face Romania in his first game after being officially appointed coach. Jesus Navas starts at right-back for Spain, ahead of Dani Carvajal.

The Sevilla man plays from the off in Bucharest, getting in ahead of his Real Madrid counterpart. Saul also starts in what had looked like Dani Parejo's spot. 

Paco Alcacer plays up front with Rodrigo and Dani Ceballos also forming part of the attack.

Kepa Arrizabalaga is chosen ahead of Manchester United's David de Gea.

Spain XI: Kepa Arrizabalaga; Jesús Navas, Llorente, Sergio Ramos, Jordi Alba; Sergio Busquets, Saúl, Fabián Ruiz; Paco Alcácer, Rodrigo, Dani Ceballos.
