Not a great warm-up: Spain stunned by Georgia as they prepare to defend Euro title

European champions Spain suffered a shock first defeat since March 2015 losing 1-0 at home to Georgia in their final warm-up friendly before Euro 2016 in Madrid on Tuesday.

Georgia, ranked 137 in the world, hadn’t won a game since defeating minnows Gibraltar in Euro qualifying in October.

However, they defended resolutely and took full advantage of their one real attack when Tornike Okriashvili tapped home at the far post six minutes before half-time.

Spain begin their quest for a third consecutive European Championship against the Czech Republic on June 13 in Toulouse.

“We have to accept it and lift ourselves for what is to come,” said Spain boss Vicente del Bosque.

“This result shouldn’t make us in any way face the Euros with a sense of fear.”
