Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta, so fundamental to Spain’s creative football, suggested that the  current team has changed the history of his country’s football. It is hard to disagree.

‘We’ve won two trophies with this style,’ he said. ‘Once you have a team who always attack and you attack against the closed defence of your opponents who don’t leave spaces, of course it’s not as attractive as if it’s an open match between two teams that want to win.

‘It’s hard to entertain if only one team are playing.’
