The second FIFA World Cup 26™ quarter-final brings together two of Europe's most talented sides as Spain take on Belgium with a place in the semi-finals at stake.
This is everything you need to know about this blockbuster showdown at Los Angeles Stadium.
Spain reached the quarter-finals with an impressive 1-0 victory over neighbours Portugal in the Round of 16.
Luis de la Fuente's side controlled large periods of the contest and once again showcased the possession-based football that has made them one of the tournament favourites. With a blend of experienced leaders and exciting young talent, La Roja continue to look like one of the most complete teams left in the competition.
Belgium booked their place in the last eight after a commanding 4-1 victory over the United States.
The Red Devils produced one of their best performances of the tournament, combining clinical finishing with attacking flair to comfortably see off the hosts. Rudi Garcia's side will now believe they have the quality to challenge any opponent as they chase a first World Cup title.

Spain's Lamine Yamal continues to light up the tournament.
The teenage winger has been one of the stars of the World Cup, dazzling defenders with his pace, creativity and fearless dribbling. The Barcelona sensation earned himself a Creativity Score of 8.30 in the FIFA Power Rankings - powered by Aramco, during their 3-0 win over Austria in the Round of 32.
Elsewhere Pedro Porro has been consistently impressive from right-back and secured a Defending Score of 7.88 during the victory against Portugal.
For Belgium, all eyes will be on Charles De Ketelaere.
