SEVILLE (Reuters) - Spain coach Luis Enrique this week described his side as a champagne bottle about to be popped open, and it was party time in Seville on Wednesday night as the hosts thrashed Slovakia 5-0 in a performance that will give them belief that they can win the Euros.
Spain finished second in their European Championship Group E, having been criticised for starting slowly in their first two games, a goalless stalemate with Sweden and a 1-1 draw against Poland, and they narrowly missed out on topping the group after a late goal for Sweden that flipped the ranks around.
