England chief Sir Trevor Brooking was delighted with the U16's victory over Spain.
World and European champions at senior level, Spain also hold Euro titles at Under-21 and U-19s level.
But England U-16s' 1-0 win in Madrid on Wednesday means the Three Lions have lost just once in eight matches in all age groups against the Spanish over three years.
"Spain have a way of playing which all of their national teams replicate in their different age groups, they keep moving quickly and passing the ball and they are very comfortable in that playing style.
"I think one of the key areas from their game that we need to aspire to is the decision making.
"Even if you have the technical skill base, you've still got to know what is the right pass to make and at present, Spain are as good as anyone in selecting the right pass to hurt the opposition." Everton's George Green grabbed the winner and Brooking said: "Look at the transition that we're making ourselves - we have often played well against them in recent years and enjoyed some good results.
