It will be a heavyweight bout in the round of 16 clash at Euro 2020 as defending champions Portugal take on the dark horses Belgium in Spain. Belgium ruled Group B with 3 wins from 3 games as they are in red-hot form in the competition. The number 1 ranked side in the world will depend heavily on their striker Romelu Lukaku who is perhaps in the form of his life with 63 goals in 96 international appearances for the Red Devils. But history is stacked up against Belgium as the last time they beat Portugal was 32 years ago. Cristiano Ronaldo's side has won their last 5 clashes against Belgium and will be hoping for a quick change in fortunes after scrapping to the knockouts from Group F despite finishing 3rd with just 1 win. Ronaldo's form will be the key once again as the legend will look to break another record as stands joint 1st with the legendary Ali Daei's for most international goals at 109 each.
