Santi Cazorla says that Spain have to win against France on Tuesday to retain their chances of automatic qualification to the 2014 World Cup finals.

Spain international midfielder Santi Cazorla has admitted that his side cannot afford to drop points against France in Saint-Denis on Tuesday.

La Furia Roja will head into their World Cup qualifier second in Group I, two points behind leaders France.

"France are one of the strongest national teams in the world," he told FIFA.com. "They've got a young team with a lot of ability and every game against them is incredibly difficult.

"The match in Paris will be no exception, but we'll be going out to try and win and hope to do just that. If we want to finish top of the group, we can't afford to slip up."

Spain will go into Tuesday's encounter on the back of a 1-1 home draw with Finland.
