Spain boss Luis Enrique insists his side are not favourites in Group E as they prepare to get their European Championship campaign under way against Sweden. Spain will also play Poland and Slovakia in the group phase and Enrique was pleased with the way his squad rounded off their tournament preparations in the friendly draw with Portugal this week. “We aren’t the tournament favourites either – the real favourites are the current champion. There are six or seven nations who can contend to be ‘other’ favourites and I’m happy if people reckon that we are in that group. Those games were enough to give Sweden boss Janne Andersson encouragement that they are capable of causing Spain problems.
