Spain's Sergio Ramos missed two penalties in the second half of their 1-1 draw with Switzerland on Saturday. AFP/Fabrice COFFRINIBASEL, Switzerland: Sergio Ramos missed two penalties as Spain needed a late equaliser from Gerard Moreno to draw 1-1 with Switzerland in the Nations League on Saturday but coach Luis Enrique backed his veteran star, saying:"If there had been a third penalty, he'd have taken that as well".

Ramos had previously scored 25 penalties in a row and his inaccuracy from the spot cost Spain, who will now have to beat Germany in Sevilla on Tuesday to reach the final four."We wanted to win here and the team tried until the end," said Moreno."It wasn't to be but it's still in our hands to get through, even if we have a difficult game."

First, he brilliantly blocked Freuler's shot on the line after Unai Simon made a mess of rushing out and then the Spain captain won the first penalty, his header hitting the arm of Sergio Rodriguez, who had turned his back.
