Ferran Torres wants no offence

As well as giving an overview of Spanish feelings ahead of the next game in the Round of 16 of Euro 2020, Torres also responded to a question put to him over his comment about Poland goal machine, Robert Lewandowski.

Before the game against the Bayern Munich star, Torres had been asked if Spain were worried about him. “No, he does not worry us. Our central defenders will devour Lewandowski," he replied.

In the latest press conference, the Man City youngster attempted to clear up the situation.

"I respect Lewandowski and all the forwards very much. He is a reference for me. If I offended someone I want to apologise."

And on all the missed penalties for Spain...

"It's not a situation that worries us because we're trying to work on everything and it's something we are working on. In the next few penalties it will pay off and we will score them."
