Barcelona midfielder Sergi Busquets admitted frustration after Spain's 3-2 defeat to Croatia.
Tin Jedvaj struck an injury-time winner to edge the Nations League tie in Croatia's favour.
Busquets remarked afterwards: "It's a shame they scored [at the end], although a draw wasn't much use to us. It wasn't to be.
"They started very strongly, we had a few problems in the first half, in the opening minutes. In the second half they dropped their level physically and we had a lot of chances, above all in the six yard box.
"We deserved more. We deserved to take the lead, but for one reason or another it wasn't to be and now we need to hope that England and Croatia draw on Sunday, because it's not in our hands."
