Back-to-back European champions Spain ended their Euro 2016 preparations with a 1-0 loss at home to Georgia in Madrid.

Tornike Okriashvili scored the game's only goal, late in the first half to hand the former World Champions their first home defeat since November 2014.

Vicente del Bosque's side will worry that they could not break down a defence that had conceded eight goals in their past two games. Thiago Alcantara came closest for the team, when he hit the post.

Despite the loss, Spain still go into the tournament as one of the favourites to win the Henry Delaunay Trophy for the third time in a row next month.

La Roja begin their campaign against the Czech Republic on Monday in Toulouse.
