La Roja will face Belgium in the last eight of the World Cup tonight.
Luis de la Fuente is likely to continue with the same starting lineup that defeated Portugal. Spain aim to reach the World Cup semi-final for the first time since 2010.
Spain will meet Belgium in one of its most important matches of the FIFA World Cup 2026 tonight, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, with a spot in the semifinals on the line.
La Roja advanced to the final eight after defeating Portugal in a closely contested Round of 16 match, demonstrating once again its capacity to perform under pressure.
Everything points to the Spain manager choosing an unchanged roster following the performances that propelled his country to the knockout rounds.
Unai Simón will continue as goalkeeper, with Pedro Porro, Pau Cubarsí, Aymeric Laporte, and Marc Cucurella forming the defence.
The mix of youth and experience has become one of Spain’s most valuable qualities. Pau Cubarsí has demonstrated tremendous maturity in his first World Cup. Meanwhile, Laporte continues to give leadership and stability in centre defence.
Spain players who are at risk of missing the semi-final with a yellow card vs Belgium
However, one thing Spain players will be keeping in mind is to avoid getting a yellow card in the match. One player particularly can get suspended for the semi-final game if they win tonight.
La Roja have only one player who is going into the game with a yellow card. If he receives one tonight, he will be suspended for the semi-final match against France.
Ferran Torres was shown a yellow card in stoppage time in Spain’s last-16 triumph over Portugal. He will miss the last four if he receives another yellow card against Belgium.
Which Spain player is carrying a yellow card tonight?
Ferran Torres.
What time will the game start?
