Combined line-up using the greatest players from Portugal and Spain’s history
They have both been blessed with quality and both still possess brilliant players, but this line-up focuses on those of years gone by
Portugal play Spain in their first World Cup game and it pits Cristiano Ronaldo against some of the game's best players in Sergio Ramos, David De Gea and Andres Iniesta.
Coverage begins on talkSPORT at 7pm, but rather than focus on the current superstars, marvelbet369.com looks at the classic players.
Below is a line-up of players who have all previously played for either Portugal or Spain.
GOALKEEPER: IKER CASILLAS
Casillas is probably the best goalkeeper in Spain's recent history.
DEFENCE: JORGE COSTA
This is a very solid defence. It needs to be considering the slick attack marvelbet369.com has up top. Costa was a bloody strong bloke.
DEFENCE: FERNANDO HIERRO
Now Spain manager, Hierro was a solid defender who represented both Spain and Real Madrid. And Bolton. He had everything a defender needed to play at the highest level.
DEFENCE: CARLES PUYOL
Puyol was a commanding defender who won the World Cup with Spain in 2010. He was their wall.
ATTACKING MIDFIELD, LEFT: LUIS FIGO
It's Luis Figo, one of the greatest players ever. His brain worked at a different pace to everyone else's and he could just glide past anyone.
ATTACKING MIDFIELD: RUI COSTA
Vision and style is probably the best way to sum up Rui Costa. Shooting, dribbling and passing all looked so easy for this classic no.10.
CENTRAL MIDFIELD: XAVI
He was always looking for space to exploit and he always found it thanks to his blinding creativity. He could just see everything and was so gifted.
ATTACKING MIDFIELD, RIGHT: ALFREDO DI STEFANO
By all accounts, he could do it all. Whether that was defending, linking midfield with attack or scoring goals, Di Stefano is the man you wanted to have. Shame he never played in an actual World Cup, though.
WIDE FORWARD, LEFT: DAVID VILLA
With nine, he scored more World Cup goals than any other Spaniard. Perpetually underrated, who bowed out of the international scene with his 59th and final international goal for Spain - a quality back heel.
CENTRE FORWARD: EUSEBIO
This man could score goals and you wouldn't want to stand in his way when he took aim. He is the most famous name in Portuguese football history, who scored nine times for his country at the 1966 World Cup.
WIDE FORWARD, RIGHT: RAUL
One of the most popular and dangerous forwards of his time. He could both score and create and was always a handful.
