Without being an early final, because there are more candidates, it is much more than a simple knockout round of 16. Belgium, serious contender for the title, and Portugal, who is also the current champion, are measured tonight (9:00 p.m.) in The Cartuja (Sevilla) in what is the first major tie of this Eurocup.
The ‘red devils’, led by the Spanish Roberto Martinez, completed their participation in the group stage with full of triumphs, offering more than notorious sensations that only confirmed their vitola as a candidate to win the trophy. Now, before a 'coconut' like the Portugal from Cristiano Ronaldo and company want to confirm that it was not a coincidence. With De Bruyne already recovered after missing the first game due to the broken nose he suffered in the final of the Champions Y Lukaku extending his good season with him Inter As the main offensive arguments, the question is whether to enter the 'eleven' to Doku or Mertens up or to Tielemans in the spinal cord. The position of the versatile and effective will depend on it. De Bruyne.
As to Portugal, It is expected that Fernando Santos leave one of the two pieces of the double pivot formed by Carvalho Y Danilo to give continuity in the spinal cord to Renato sanches Y Joao moutinho. Up will be Cristiano Ronaldo, that although with 3 of them from the penalty spot (you have to put them in), he is the top scorer so far Eurocup with 5 points.
