Spain coach Vicente del Bosque is delighted with his side's preparations for the European Championships.

Spain continued their build-up by beating South Korea 6-1 in a friendly in Salzburg, Austria on Wednesday, with two goals from Alvaro Morata and Nolito each as well as strikes from David Silva and Cesc Fabregas.

They are the 11/2 third favourites with Sky Bet to win the tournament in France - behind the hosts and Germany - and Del Bosque agrees his side are among the leading contenders as they seek to lift the trophy for a third successive time.

"We are the favourites because we come into it having won four years ago... but only on that basis," Del Bosque said after the win over South Korea.

"There are other national teams but it's our dream to be champions again. We're in a good moment. We have had a tough season, very intense, but we are ready to go into the Euros in the best conditions.
