"Energetic" is the verdict of the Spanish press after "La Roja" cruised against Iraq in La Coruña. Although forwards Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams were missing, many probably expected more. Spain begins its World Cup against Cape Verde in just over a week.

Even worse was the evening for France, which holds first place in the FIFA world rankings. "A cold snap" is the headline in the newspaper L'Equipe.

But, according to recent Champions League winner Lucas Hernandez, the team is not drawing any major conclusions from the match.

We always want to win, but it's better that it (the loss) happened today than on June 16, he said, according to L'Equipe, referring to the World Cup opener against Senegal.
