Monday’s clash is being broadcast on BBC One.<\/p>\n

What is at stake for Portugal and Spain?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

As rumours continue to circle around Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a>‘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.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, after winning the European Championships two years ago, Luis de la Fuente<\/a>‘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.<\/p>\n
