Spain coach Vicente del Bosque said on Wednesday that his players were "magnificent" in the semifinal win over Germany.

"Our players carried out their job in a magnificent way. ... Let's now think what we have pending before us," He said.

The coach urged the team to not lose their focus ahead of Sunday's World Cup final against the Netherlands.

"Of course we must celebrate this victory but we will do so with moderation," Del Bosque said after Carles Puyol's fabulous header gave his side a 1-0 semifinal win over Germany on Wednesday.

"We will not be blinded by success. We will enjoy this and tomorrow we start preparing for the final. There is nothing more difficult or precious than to win a World Cup. But we still have to play the final. We cannot start bragging or get too conceited yet," He said.
