The Spanish national team needed a push from behind to start the European Championship qualifying tournament with a victory.
Luis Enrique's players defeated Norway 2-1 at home in the F group match, with the decisive goal scored by Sergio Ramos, who accurately converted an 11-meter penalty in the 71st minute.
After the game, the defender praised the coach's tactics:
"You always have to dream and want to achieve something important.
We started working with a coach who has a fantastic game philosophy, and we'll see how it goes in every match.
Victories make the team feel more secure," said S. Ramos.
"A new chapter is beginning, and there can't be a better way to start than with a win against an opponent who caused problems, even though we controlled the ball. We knew it wouldn't be easy."
