SEVILLE: Luis Enrique admitted he was relieved to be proved right that Spain were like a bottle of Cava waiting to pop after his side ended their struggle for goals in style with a 5-0 thrashing of Slovakia.

The coach made the comparison before the game on the back of disappointing draws against Sweden and Poland in which they mustered one goal.
