Portugal and Spain will headline one of the most exciting Round of 16 matchups of the 2026 World Cup. The Portuguese side will look to lean on Cristiano Ronaldo's experience and the talent of their golden generation to stop a Spain team that is in great form.

Portugal reaches the 2026 World Cup Round of 16 after overcoming a tough test against Croatia, defeating them 2-1 in a hard-fought match. The team led by Roberto Martínez has shown a balance between experience and youth, relying on the leadership of Cristiano Ronaldo and the talent of players such as Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, and Rafael Leão. Now, the Portuguese side faces one of the tournament's biggest challenges against a Spain team arriving in great form, with the hope of proving they are real title contenders.

Roberto Martínez is expected to stick with his usual 4-2-3-1 formation, featuring Diogo Costa in goal; João Neves, Rúben Dias, Gonçalo Inácio, and Nuno Mendes in defense; Vitinha and João Palhinha as the double pivot; with Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, and Rafael Leão playing behind the striker.
