Spain coach Moreno dedicates Euros qualification to Luis Enrique

Spain coach Robert Moreno has dedicated Euros qualification to Luis Enrique.

La Roja have made the 2020 Euros after their 1-1 draw with Sweden.

And Moreno says qualification is tribute to former Barcelona coach Enrique, who stepped down earlier this year to be with his daughter before her passing.

Moreno said, "We have played a good game, and even if we had lost, I would have been happy. Because we have played more with our style. We are qualified and now we have to try to be the top of the group.

"Spain is a high-level national team and qualification is a must, but achieving it has its value I want to take the opportunity to dedicate this to Rubiales and Molina because they trusted me, and also Luis Enrique.

"It releases tension and doubt, and gives us time to work more comfortably, but without losing tension because the goal is to be one of the six best to go to the draw as seeded teams. It will not be easy, but we will try."
