(Reuters) - Spain coach Luis Enrique said there is no shame in struggling against lesser international sides as his team have in their opening World Cup qualifiers, emphasising their 6-0 win over Germany last year inflated expectations.

Spain host Kosovo in their third qualifier on Wednesday in search of a statement performance after drawing 1-1 at home to Greece last week and only scraping a 2-1 win away to Georgia on Sunday thanks to a stoppage-time strike from Dani Olmo.
