Spain and Manchester City midfielder David Silva feels playing any opponent in the World Cup is difficult as his side are all set to take on hosts Russia in the Last 16 today.

Having topped the group, Spain have successfully reached the other side of the draw where they will not be facing the likes of Brazil, Argentina, Portugal and France. But Silva said he doesn't see it as an advantage for the visitors. "Playing Russia at the Luzhniki will be as difficult as playing against Brazil," he said.
