What is at stake for Portugal and Spain?

With either the USA or Belgium waiting in the quarterfinals for the victor of this tie, both Portugal and Spain will be desperate to prevail and give themselves a great chance of reaching a first World Cup semi-final since 2006 and 2010 respectively.

As rumours continue to circle around Cristiano Ronaldo's international future, the 41-year-old will undoubtedly be keen to slingshot his nation into contention for glory and complete the full set of major trophies before retirement.

On the other hand, after winning the European Championships two years ago, Luis de la Fuente's men have got a point to prove on the global stage and will certainly be viewed as serious candidates for the tournament should they prevail on Monday.
