Former England captain Rio Ferdinand praises Gerard Pique and Andres Iniesta following the duo's performance for Spain in their Euro 2016 opener against Czech Republic.

Former England captain Rio Ferdinand has lavished praise on Gerard Pique and Andres Iniesta following the duo's performance for Spain in their Euro 2016 opener on Monday afternoon.

It did appear that the European champions would be held to a goalless draw by Czech Republic in Group D, but Iniesta set up Pique in the 87th minute as the holders made a winning start in France.

Ferdinand reserved special praise for his former Manchester United teammate Pique, but also hailed Barcelona midfielder Iniesta, whose assist ensured that Spain would join Croatia on three points in Group D.

Next up for Spain is a clash with Turkey on Friday night.
