Alvaro Morata has played down the suggestion that Spain are favourites to win Euro 2016 and in the process a third consecutive European Championship, but believes the team spirit within the squad is being reflected in performances and results on the pitch.
Morata scored twice in Spain's 3-0 Group D win against Turkey that ensured they progress to the knockout stage of the tournament.
And Morata told Spanish TV after the game that it is "a dream" for him to play as part of La Rojas' squad in a major international tournament.
He said: "The important thing about this group is that we don't think that [we are favourites], that there is a spectacular atmosphere. We have spent a lot of time together, we've laughed, and it shows on the pitch.
"I'm very happy for the match the team played, very happy for the goals but above all for being here. Before I watched all of Spain's matches on television so to enjoy this team is a dream for me."
Morata also laughed off the suggestion that Spain's weak spot was in front of goal after his fellow striker Nolito joined him on the scoresheet in Nice.
He said: "People said we wouldn't score? They're always looking for something, when the team is doing well they say the strikers won't score. We continue and work. We've played a great game against a very tough team and now to win the next match."
