Luis Enrique acknowledged Spain have many things to improve on after La Roja were fortunate to draw against the Czech Republic.
Gavi, aged 17 years and 304 days, became the youngest ever player to score for Spain as he curled in to cancel out Jakub Pesek s fourth-minute opener in Prague.
The Barcelona midfielder s strike also meant Spain have scored in 16 straight games in all competitions, only twice achieving such longer streaks in history.
Jan Kutcha then again edged Czech Republic ahead in the Nations League encounter as he chipped over the onrushing Unai Simon in the second half.
But there was to be late drama as Inigo Martinez s 90th-minute header snatched a point for Spain, who sit two points behind Group A2 joint-leaders Czech Republic and Portugal after two games.
With just one team progressing to the Nations League finals, Luis Enrique was glad to pick up a point but urged his side to improve.
Asked whether the stalemate would keep the critics quiet, the Spain coach told reporters: Noise is the most beautiful thing in the world of football. I know what I play, I know where I m going.
There are many things to improve. But the best thing about drawing is that the rival does not add three points.
The important thing is that the rival does not escape us.
16 have scored in 16 consecutive games in all competitions, their third best historical record after 20 games scoring between 1947 and 1951 and 42 between 2016 and 2020.
Offensive.

Luis Enrique was also quick to heap praise on teenage star Gavi after yet another fine performance in midfield.
I know Gavi very well, I ve been watching videos for five years of him. If there was any player who we wanted in that position in the first half, it was him, he added.
Either he shoots or he gets into the area, and that conviction is unstoppable.
