SEVILLE, Spain (Reuters) - 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 at Euro 2020 on Wednesday.

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