Portugal v Spain team news
With no new injury concerns for Roberto Martinez, the Portuguese side is expected to remain fairly similar after their win against Germany.
The manager chose a system based on width and pace, picking the likes of Francisco Trincao and Pedro Neto to aid Ronaldo, instead of a more balanced line with Diogo Jota and Goncalo Ramos.
As for Luis de La Fuente, the main question before the semi-final was the personnel used in the centre-back partnership.

The Spaniard chose to go with Robin Le Normand and Dean Huijsen, with Barcelona's Pau Cubarsi left out.
After that defence shipped four goals against the French, perhaps the 63-year-old manager might alter the backline, or decide that he wants to keep a winning team unchanged.
