At the Estadio de La Cartuja on Sunday, two teams filled with a multitude of stars will take to the pitch and decide a worthy competitor in the quarterfinals of the competition.
Belgium have had a smooth sailing so far, topping Group B with nine points from nine whilst Portugal overcame the ‘group of death’ to give themselves a good chance of defending the crown.
Cristiano Ronaldo faces Romelu Lukaku, Bernardo Silva faces Manchester City teammate Kevin de Bruyne. The match has all the makings of a real cracker.
Game set to go into extra time
