Dick Advocaat insists he is focused on next year's European Championship finals after his side's emphatic 6-0 win over Andorra.

Russia finished top of Group of B - two points ahead of the Republic of Ireland - to head into the summer showpiece rich in confidence.

Alan Dzagoev bagged a brace, while Sergei Ignashevich, Roman Pavlyuchenko, Denis Glushakov and substitute Diniyar Bilyaletdinov snared the other goals.

And for Advocaat, the focus is now trying to ensure his team make an impact against Europe's best.

"I'm proud of my team as we were the better team today and in the entire qualifying campaign," he said.

"It was a really impressive performance tonight. Now we need to prepare the best possible way for the finals."
