"We scored six against Germany, and it's been a long time since they conceded this much"Spain's hattrick man Ferran Torries was understandably proud of his and Spain's achievement in Seville on Tuesday night. The Spanish handed Germany its worst defeat in a competitive match-winning 6-0 to advance to the Final Four of UEFA's Nations League.

Germany's only five-goal loss in a competitive game had been West Germany’s 8-3 defeat to Hungary at the 1954 World Cup group stage. West Germany went on to beat Hungary in the final. In non-competitive matches, Germany had also lost 6-0 to Austria in a friendly in 1931.The victory ended a three-match winless streak for Spain, which hasn’t gone four games without a win since the late 1980s.
