Vicente Del Bosque insists that Spain are only thinking about winning ahead of their final group match against Croatia.

Spain manager Vicente Del Bosque has insisted that his team have no intention of going for anything other than victory in their Group C decider against Croatia.

After taking four points from their opening two games, Spain know that a 2-2 in their final game will ensure both they and Croatia qualify at the expense of Italy.

Del Bosque told Marca: "There is no possibility of planning a draw that favours us, I haven't even done the calculations. The only thing that interests us is winning.

"We are sportsmen and the Croatians are as well, therefore we will go out to win.

Spain remain firm favorites to retain their European Championship crown after a strong, unbeaten start.
