Sevilla star Jesus Navas captained the Spanish national team in their game away at Cyprus. They won 3-1 and the defender celebrated 50 international appearances. In this interview, 37-year-old Navas looks back to his Spain debut and expresses his desire to keep enjoying international football.

Spain, who have also already secured their qualification, comfortably beat Cyprus 3-1 with starlet Yamal opening the scoring in the fifth minute.

Sevilla star Jesus Navas was the captain of the Spanish national team in Thursday's Euro qualifier and played for 66 minutes, which is impressive considering the right-back is 37 years old.

The Spaniard played his 50th game for his national team and is very grateful that his coach Luis de la Fuente continues to give him opportunities.

"For me, every moment here is an honour after so many years, continuing to enjoy success with you. You have to keep going, because you are very great and I would like to take a picture of us all together because you are so great," he told his teammates at the celebration of his 50th international match with Spain.
