Semi-final between Portugal and Wales at the European Championships in France. The Red Dragon's will be looking to their talisman Gareth Bale for inspiration to keep their Euro fairytale going. While the Portuguese will be hoping star man Cristiano Ronaldo can reach top form to guide them to their first major tournament win.
Despite failing to win a game in 90 minutes since arriving in France, Portugal enter the contest the favourites. After draws against Iceland, Austria and Hungary they stumbled past Croatia thanks to an extra time winner before defeating Poland on kicks in the last 8. While most of the attention has been placed on the two Real Madrid men going head-to-head, both sides will also be without some key figures.
Seleccao defender William Carvalho is suspended after receiving a second yellow card in the last round and center back Pepe looks a doubt after missing training with a back problem. Wales will be without Arsenal's Arron Ramsey who is also excluded because of two bookings. But all the take is about the Real teammates.
