Sergi Roberto has thanked Barcelona boss Luis Enrique after earning his first call-up to the senior Spain squad.
The 24-year-old has impressed in a number of positions for the Liga leaders this season and his club coach has frequently given public backing to him being given a chance by Vicente del Bosque.
"It's entirely Luis Enrique's fault that I'm here," he said, speaking to the media on Monday. "He gives me belief, gave me a lot of game time and if you play with your team and do well, you get the recognition from the national team.
"Last year I didn't have much of a main role, but this year I do, I'm playing a lot of minutes and helping the team, which is what I want.
"I'm very happy with the season we're having, it's given me the opportunity to be here and I'm very happy."
He added: "Del Bosque said he saw me as a central player but I'm available to help the team, and if that means I need to play in another position, I'll give it everything.
"It's a dream to be here. These are the last two matches before the Euros and you have to treat them as if they were in the finals."
