Luis Enrique has defended his Spain flops, bizarrely insisting they 'executed my idea of football perfectly' in their humiliating penalty shootout defeat at the hands of Morocco. It is yet another early World Cup exit for Spain, whose heartbreaking knockout comes four years on from when they failed to make it past the last-16 of the World Cup on penalties in Russia at the hands of the hosts. Luis Enrique has defended his squad insisting he is 'proud' of them despite their penalty defeat Spain failed to score any of their penalties as they crashed out of the World Cup to Morocco It also come less than two years after they were knocked out of Euro 2020 in the semi-final stage by eventual champions Italy - again on penalties. After the game, Enrique said that Morocco and Sevilla goalkeeper Bono was 'spectacular' Spain keeper Unai Simon, meanwhile, only managed to save one of Morocco's penalties - from Badr Benoun - before Madrid-born Achraf Hakimi sealed the 3-0 victory in the shootout with an audacious panenka.
