End of a era for Spain maybe or just a very bad day at the office..


At the end of the day their two best players Xavi and Iniesta are aging and are alot less effective nowadays i think that has been shown in Messi's output last season also. I'd also say that they're missing a potent striker like Villa, while Costa is great he played a bit too much like a playmaker himself tonight imo, which Spain have an overabundance of like Silva,Xavi and Iniesta. They need someone like Villa who is only really looking to finish, even though he also had the occasional flash of technical brilliance.
