Spain Eye Semis as Belgium Aim to End La Roja’s Defensive Masterclass

England vs Argentina World Cup rivalry

Spain and Belgium clash in a blockbuster FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-final on Saturday, with Luis de la Fuente’s side chasing another clean sheet and a place in the last four.

Spain have yet to concede a goal in the tournament, while goalkeeper Unai Simón carries a remarkable 609-minute World Cup shutout streak. Lamine Yamal, Pedri and captain Álvaro Morata are all expected to start despite a quick turnaround from the win over Portugal. Belgium arrive full of confidence after a 4-1 victory over the United States but have suffered a major setback with midfielder Amadou Onana ruled out through injury.

Charles De Ketelaere will spearhead Belgium’s attack as the Red Devils attempt to become the first team to score against Spain.
