Sergio Ramos is expecting an intense encounter when Spain clash with England

Spain captain Sergio Ramos says a Nations League win against England would be 'big news' around the world.
England travel to Seville for Monday's UEFA Nations League clash, against Spain and Ramos admits he would love to beat the "inventors of football"
The Real Madrid defender helped beat Gareth Southgate's men 2-1 at Wembley last month and is keen to inflict another defeat on England in their Group A4 clash.
"I've played many matches against English clubs and the national team - and I always notice a difference in those games, he told the Sunday Mirror.
"When you play against the ­inventors of football, it adds more importance to the result and you can see that demonstrated by the levels on the pitch.
"To play and to win against ­England is big news around the world and footballers are always grateful for that.
"I am expecting a beautiful, but intense, match. Harry Kane is a very complicated player to stop. That is clear and at Wembley he caused our defenders to work very hard.
"England have called up young players who are dangerous and quick and I can see the future looks good for this squad.
"But Spain's dream is to play in the final of this new tournament. Until this moment, we are in the race, so we must not fail against England."
England are winless so far after two games of the new Nations League tournament, having already suffered defeat to Spain before Friday's draw with Croatia.

Granit Xhaka's place in Switzerland's World Cup squad is in doubt after the Arsenal midfielder picked up an injury in training. The Swiss FA confirmed Xhaka had to stop training on Thursday after injuring his knee in a duel. He was not sent to hospital and was instead treated and examined by the physio at the team hotel. A statement on the Swiss FA website said Xhaka reported feeling pain on the outside of his left knee and will be sent for an MRI scan before any further update on the injury is given but they have told Sky Sports: "It is too early to say if he will miss the tournament in Russia". Xhaka is part of coach Vladimir Petkovic's 26-man preliminary squad which also includes Stoke midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri and Arsenal target Stephan Lichtsteiner. Switzerland play Spain in a warm-up match on June 3. They begin the World Cup against Brazil on June 17, before facing Serbia and Costa Rica in group E. via Sky Sports
