Spain have qualified for the Rugby World Cup for the first time since 1999 after an enthralling 33-28 win over Portugal.
They managed to hold out with 14 men for a historic victory leading to wild scenes at the final whistle.
Here was some of the best reaction on social media.
Spain have qualified for next year’s World Cup by beating Portugal 33-28 in a truly sensational Rugby Europe Championship clash!
Spain go into Pool B with Ireland, South Africa, Scotland and Asia/Pacific 1 [almost certainly Tonga].

Everyone talking about Georgia or Romania to be given a shot at the 6 nations. Spain are currently top in the Rugby Europe championship (2nd tier 6 nations). https://t.co/xzQpF1NP3G

They will face off in a group with South Africa, Scotland and Ireland along with what is very likely to be Tonga.
Well done Spain!
