Spain dominated the match at the Arena AufSchalke and could easily have won by a greater margin, with Nico Williams hitting the bar in the second half.

“I think it was undoubtedly the best game of the 17 of which I have taken charge, the most complete,” said the 62-year-old, who replaced Luis Enrique in the dugout after Spain went out of the 2022 World Cup in the last 16 to Morocco.
