Former Real Madrid star Rafael van der Vaart has taken aim at Luis Enrique's Spain.

Van der Vaart, in his role as Euro 2020 pundit, says La Roja players aimlessly circulate the ball in the middle third as they have no player to offer spark and creativity up front.

"All [Spain] do is pass [the ball] from one side to the other," Van der Vaart told NOS.

"They don't even have a player who knows how to give a final pass."

Spain could face the Netherlands in the next round of the competition, as the Dutch side topped Group C and one of their potential opponents is the team who will finish third in Group E.
