Iniesta: Spain won 'our way'
Spain left if late to beat Czech Republic, but Andres Iniesta felt the win was always coming.
Andres Iniesta felt Spain won in its own inimitable way after Gerard Pique's last-gasp goal secured a 1-0 victory over Czech Republic in Group D of UEFA Euro 2016.
Vicente del Bosque's side dominated proceedings as it began the defence of its European crown with a dramatic triumph in Toulouse.
And Barcelona midfielder Iniesta sensed the match was following a familiar pattern.
"We've played games like this, we try to affect and influence until we get to a goal," the 32-year-old midfielder said.
"They have had their chance, football is like that, sometimes you have the ball a lot and you cannot win.
"It's our way. We have achieved many successes, it's our idea. We have very good selection to beat any rival."
Atletico Madrid full-back Juanfran added: "We have played a great game. We have insisted and insisted and we have scored at the end.
"I spoke with Jordi Alba and both of us were sure we were going to score."
Spain's next Group D game is against Turkey on Saturday (AEST).
