This impressive win comes on the heels of their earlier 5-0 triumph against Andorra earlier in the week, showcasing a strong run of form for the team.

Pedri, aged 21, notched his first international goals with a quickfire brace during the game.

By halftime, the outcome of the match was all but decided, with goals from Alvaro Morata and Fabian Ruiz further extending Spain’s lead to 4-1.

Northern Ireland managed to score their lone goal from a set-piece expertly converted by Daniel Ballard within the opening two minutes of the match.

During the second half, Coach Luis de la Fuente used the opportunity to experiment with his lineup, implementing several substitutions that marginally reduced Spain’s attacking intensity.

Nevertheless, Mikel Oyarzabal netted a fifth goal late in the game, bringing his tally to four goals in just two matches.

Spain’s journey in Euro 2024 will kick off with a match against Croatia on June 15.
