Level with the Spanish team (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eleven

'team' is the definition.
(I know that eleven is a type of team)

'level with the spanish' is the wordplay.
'level' becomes 'even' (synonyms).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'even' after 'el' is 'ELEVEN'.

(Other definitions for eleven that I've seen before include "Bingo's "legs"?" , "football team, for example" , "Late" , "Cricketing side" , "Prime number" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Irish Independent.
