The 2026 World Cup is entering its most crucial phase. France has already secured a place in the semi-finals and is waiting to learn their opponent, who will emerge from this Friday's quarter-final between Spain and Belgium.
On one side is Lamine Yamal's Spain, which comes motivated after the victory over Portugal and aims to continue its journey towards the title. On the other side, Belgium led by Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne arrives in this challenge after eliminating the United States and seeks to cause a surprise.
The reigning European champions are aiming to secure another prestigious challenge, that of France in the semi-finals, a clash that many consider to be a premature final. After a difficult start against Cape Verde, Luis de la Fuente's team has found its rhythm and has no intention of stopping.
In the offensive department, Spain continues to trust its quality. On the wings, Lamine Yamal and Álex Baena are expected to play, while Mikel Oyarzabal will be the reference point in attack, in the role of false center forward. The midfield remains unchanged with Dani Olmo, Pedri and Rodri, while the defense is also expected to be confirmed with Pedro Porro and Cucurella on the wings, as well as Laporte and Cubarsí in the center.
Belgium will face off against the hosts, with Romelu Lukaku expected to start as a substitute in the second half. Charles De Ketelaere, who returned to goal with a brace against the USA, is expected to start again. The team will be led by captain Youri Tielemans, but defense remains the Belgians' weakest point, an aspect that Spain will aim to exploit through the speed and technique of its players.
The Red Devils are dreaming of making history and repeating their convincing performance in the round of 16, but on paper Spain remain the favourites to secure qualification. The verdict will be given this Friday evening.
