Spain secured the perfect start to their Euro 2024 campaign as La Roja stormed to a 3-0 win over Croatia in Berlin.
The Red secured victory via a superb first half performance with Luis de la Fuente three-goal team before the break in the German capital.
Despite a low-key start, as both sides looked to outplay each other, Spain burst into life to convert their first real chance on the half hour mark.
Ruiz quickly took the initiative again just minutes later as he volleyed home from the edge of Croatia's box.
However, there was still time for a third Spain goal before the break, as Dani Carvajal poked home his first international goal.
Teenage superstar Yamal plates was superbly denied a debut European Championship goal after the restart and Croatia were denied a late goal by VAR.
Unai Simon kept out Bruno Petkovic's penalty, but despite the veteran striker taking the rebound, the goal was disallowed due to intrusion into the box by Croatia when the point was scored.
Next up for de la Fuente's charges is a clash with defending champions Italy on June 20 in Gelsenkirchen.
