Following the dominant win for Spain, fans have singled out Barcelona's wonderkid Gavi for special praise.

The 2010 World Cup Champions seem to be ready for the challenge in this year’s world cup.

The Spanish giants have announced their presence in Qatar with an outstanding performance in their first opening game in the group stages by trashing Costa Rica with 7 : 0 without even giving them a chance to neither have a shot on target nor a corner kick.

Spain were hoping to begin their 2022 FIFA World Cup campaign when they faced Costa Rica at the Al-Thumama Stadium in their opening group E match.

The Costa Ricans just had no answer to La Roja's dominant display and their misery was soon compounded after second-half substitute Alvaro Morata, set up Gavi for a brilliant finish in the box in the 74th minute to further put the game beyond their opponents reach.

Gavi's goal now meant he became the youngest-ever goalscorer for Spain in World Cup history.

However, the Spaniards weren't done making light work of their opponents as second-half substitutes Alvaro Morata and Carlos Soler both found the back of the net in the90th and 92nd minute respectively to condemn the Costa Ricans to a heavy defeat.
