Villarreal defender Pau Torres insists Spain's players have no problem with their early Euro 2020 critics.

Spain are now set to face Italy for a place in the final, though were criticised heavily in the early group games.

Torres told Okdiario: "The beginning was complicated. The group stage was complicated and we had to win the last game to qualify. We have always worked in the same way and everyone who is there has believed in a way to play football. We are on the right track to fight for great things. We have reached the semi-finals, but we can dream of something more.

"I recognised and I accepted those criticisms. Neither we were happy with the way the championship started. We are delighted that they are now getting on the boat.

"That is football. We analyse it more, but there are people who are focused on results. A result decants how the team is doing. We are not concerned and what happened is left behind. Now we focus on what is to come and it was clear that once the team had a series of victories all that would be behind us."
