Here's what we learned from Spain's 6-0 victory over Croatia: 3 talking points

Marco Asensio is their main man

If you doubted the Mallorcan's importance to this Spanish side, think again. The Real Madrid starlet produced yet another stellar display, wowing the crowd at Elche with his ability, magician-like reading of the game, and ruthlessness- all qualities that make him one of the future Ballon d'Or contenders.

Asensio single-handedly dismantled the Croatian defence

The 22-year-old scored a wonderful left-footed strike from outside the box, and barely a couple of minutes later, forced an own-goal- his curling shot from 20 yards out hit the crossbar and went in after hitting the back of the Croatian goalkeeper. It's a shame that the strike wasn't credited to him.

He also notched up three more assists- a brilliant through ball finished by Rodrigo for Spain's 4th, a corner headed in by Sergio Ramos, and a neat cutback from the right wing which was finished wonderfully by Isco for Spain's 6th.

Asensio was all over the pitch tonight, demanding the ball and making things happen. He was leading the charge against the reigning world cup finalists and finished an incredible performance with a goal and four assists- a night he will surely cherish for a long time.

This performance surely cements his role as the team's talisman, and since he is a mere 22 years of age, be prepared to witness many such performances from the attacking midfielder both in the white of Los Blancos and the red of La Roja.
