Chelsea star Azpilicueta buoyed by Spain win

Cesar Azpilicueta was delighted after helping Spain to a friendly win over Belgium on Thursday.

La Furia Roja defeated the Belgians 2-0 in Brussels with Chelsea defender Azpilicueta coming off the bench to replace Jordi Alba just prior to the hour-mark.

The 27-year-old was thrilled to again link up with his Spanish teammates as they look ahead to their opening 2018 World Cup qualifier against Liechtenstein in Leon on Monday.
