Vicente del Bosque is happy with the current state of the team as he looks ahead to the 2014 World Cup.

Spain manager Vicente del Bosque has said that his side must look to the future and prepare themselves for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

La Roja claimed their third consecutive major tournament crown on Sunday after they outclassed Italy 4-0 in the Euro 2012 final in Kiev.

Despite making history, Del Bosque says that Spain cannot rest on their laurels.

"This match was great for our players, they controlled the game," said Del Bosque. "After we scored the first goal, Italy were dangerous, but we reacted well.

"We had possession of the ball, we put pressure on them, and there was depth to our play. So we're very happy.

"This success in Spanish football is something historic, and now we have to look to the future and try to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil."

Spain became the first country ever to win a final by a four-goal margin.
