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
The two teams ooze quality in all positions on the pitch and will likely cancel each other out for most parts of the game.

Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to lead the charge for the Seleccao as he has done in the last three games. For Belgium, Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne are expected to work some magic.
