Spain finally have a lift-off at Euro after a 5-0 hammering of Slovakia on Wednesday sent them through as runners-up in Group E, with Croatia their opponents in the Last 16. 

Luis Enrique described his team as a bottle about to be popped and they exploded. “It’s a relief, not only for me, but what it means when you insist on the same ideas and you can get the results. The result comes at the best moment and prepares us for what’s to come,” said Enrique.
