(Reuters) - Spain midfielder Sergio Busquets hailed his Barcelona team mate Andres Iniesta as "magical" after a crucial performance in the country's Euro 2016 opening game against the Czech Republic.

An inspiration in Spain's 2008 and 2012 European Championship successes and 2010 World Cup win, Iniesta, now 32, set up goal scorer Gerard Pique with a precise cross to win 1-0 on Monday.
