The Barca midfielder was impressive and won the man of the match award

Sergio Busquets returned for Spain and impressed in a 5-0 rout of Slovakia. He had missed the first Euro 2020 games because of testing positive for Covid.

“I’m emotional because of the bad time I’ve been through, the group is strong and this has made us grow, we have to take it on with that mentality,” said the captain.

“We did not play the games we wanted to and to win this was a high, this is the way and it will reinforce us a lot for what is to come.”

They drew 0-0 with Sweden and 1-1 with Poland before this. “We’ve not had luck in the first games but it came with the first goal this afternoon,” he said of Dubravka’s terrible own goal.

On Croatia, Spain’s next opponent, he added: “They finished second at the World Cup, they are a hard opponent, we know their captain Luka Modric very well. (But) we are hard to beat, we won against Germany, Netherlands, we have confidence and I hope it goes well.”
