The La Roja coach praised his impeccable performance, also provided an update on his injured captain
Luis Enrique said his Spain team put on a perfect display when they beat Germany 6-0 to ensure their progression in the Nations League, while revealing that Sergio Ramos’ injury appears to be minor.
Ferran Torres scored a hat-trick, while Álvaro Morata, Rodri and Mikel Oyarzabal also scored goals in a remarkable match on Tuesday, meaning that Spain top Group A4 ahead of their opponents.
It was Spain’s first victory in four games, as Luis Enrique’s team drew successive matches against Switzerland and the Netherlands after a 1-0 loss to Ukraine.
However, the victory in Seville was never in doubt as they dominated from start to finish, racking up 23 attempts against the two from Germany and controlling 69.7 percent of possession.

None of Germany’s efforts hit home, and Spain was the first team since France in November 2015 to prevent Joachim Low’s side from hitting a game.
“Well, the game was perfect. Everyone connected and hit the target,” former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique told reporters.
“Germany have brought out their best team and I think that from the beginning we have played very well, and it is one of the best and most complete games of the national team.
“In the previous games we were superior, but we had no prize. It will be nice to play the last four.
Spain qualify in style

“These players can represent Spain well. We have a group of 30 players who do very well. Our forwards have a lot of quality, and I wish we had a player who scored a lot of goals, but today we have seen several players score.” . ”
The only disappointment for Spain was the injuries suffered in the first half by Sergio Canales and Ramos, both with hamstring problems.
Although he could not confirm a definite deadline for Ramos’ return, Luis Enrique offered hope that the Real Madrid defender will not be out for long.
“The injuries are minor and I hope they are out for a short time,” he added. “It’s what I feel the most, because I’ve been a club coach and I put myself in his place.”
