Croatia boss Slaven Bilic has insisted that Spain are the "firm favourites" for Euro 2012 this summer.
Bilic's side have been drawn alongside the defending champions in Group C, and the 43-year-old has conceded that they face a difficult task.
"When you play against Spain, it's more up to Spain than it is up to you. It's like if you play Barcelona; you've seen in the last four years teams trying to attack them and they've found a way through; other teams have played their normal game – no chance," Bilic told reporters.
"Most of the teams who play Spain have defended in their box, but Spain can find a way to break every defence... Spain are firm favourites."
Croatia are currently ranked tenth in the FIFA world rankings.
