Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger stands by his criticism of Spain at the Euros.

Spain finished as champions, but did not convince Wenger.

He told the Daily Mail: "Spain were not convincing this time apart from the final. Technically, Spain play in a different league. They lacked a bit of penetration overall. Their system sometimes was less positive than in previous competitions because they just deprive you of the ball.

"Overall I have massive respect for this Spanish team. To do what they have done, winning the European Championship, the World Cup and then the European Championship again demands massive humility and massive intelligence.

"I've seen teams who win the World Cup and two years later. To come back with the same hunger, the same humility and the same togetherness, as Spain have done, is absolutely remarkable. For me the most remarkable thing is not on the football side but the mental side. It is a massive combination of intelligence and quality."
