Spain hammered Germany 6-0 to secure a spot in the Nations League final four, with forward Ferran Torres netting a first career hat-trick.
Alvaro Morata, Rodri and substitute Mikel Oyarzabal also scored for Spain.
Germany only needed a draw to top the Group A4 standings but were completely overpowered by the Spaniards, who led 3-0 at halftime and went on with it in the second half.
