Vicente del Bosque tells Spain that they must bring their best with them for the Euro 2012 final.

Spain manager Vicente del Bosque has urged his players to 'show their best' as they head into the Euro 2012 final on Sunday.

La Roja secured their spot in their third consecutive major tournament final after beating Portugal 4-2 in a penalty shootout on Wednesday.

"The players have played so many matches and they have to show their best in one more," Del Bosque said.

"It was a very even match but maybe we were a little better in extra time. They [Portugal] looked a bit tired, but there were few chances before that. It wasn't easy to get through their defence.

"They were superior when it came to defence and we didn't have that many opportunities so it was very balanced. In extra-time it was slightly different and we had lots of luck with the penalties. The other semi-final will be a great match and whoever our opponent is in the final, that will also be a great match. But we don't care who our opponents are."

Spain will face either Germany or Italy in the final.
