Spain unchanged, Joao Felix starts for Portugal in World Cup last 16

Spain will field an unchanged starting team for their World Cup round of 16 encounter against Portugal on Monday. Coach Luis de la Fuente has opted to maintain the same lineup that secured a victory against Austria in the previous round.

Pedro Porro will continue at right-back, with Dani Olmo taking on the playmaker role. The team's formation remains consistent, aiming to build on their previous performance.

In contrast, Portugal's coach Roberto Martinez has made one alteration to his starting XI. Joao Felix has been brought into the attack, replacing Rafael Leao. Felix will partner Cristiano Ronaldo and Pedro Neto in the forward line, while Leao will be on the bench.

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to captain the Portuguese side. He recently stated his intention to retire from international duty after the conclusion of this tournament, making this match potentially his last on the international stage. The lineups for the match are as follows:

Portugal: Diogo Costa; Joao Cancelo, Ruben Dias, Renato Veiga, Nuno Mendes; Vitinha, Joao Neves, Bruno Fernandes; Pedro Neto, Joao Felix, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Spain: Unai Simon; Pedro Porro, Pau Cubarsi, Aymeric Laporte, Marc Cucurella; Rodri, Pedri, Dani Olmo; Lamine Yamal, Alex Baena; Mikel Oyarzabal.
