Luis De La Fuente, however, said: "Gavi's injury seems serious. It is the most bitter victory I have experienced in my life. We are waiting of the latest tests".

Ferran Torres, who dedicated his goal to Gavi and showed his shirt with the number 9 of the Spanish National Team, said to the press: "We are leaving with bad feelings due to Gavi's injury.
