France coach Laurent Blanc has admitted that he can see Spain winning the European Championships this summer.

The Frenchman, whose side were unable to progress from the group stages at Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup, insists that the defending champions should be considered the favourites to go the distance once again.

"Spain are in front of all the others," he said at a press conference.

"I can see them winning it. But after [the group stages], in one game, anything can happen and Germany and Netherlands are not far off."

Meanwhile, Blanc has dismissed his side's chances of winning the competition.
