Euro 2020, Belgium vs Portugal: Cristiano Ronaldo, Romelu Lukaku To Clash In Battle Of Heavyweights In Round Of 16

Euro 2020: Defending champions Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, will take on world's top-ranked team Belgium in their round of 16 match.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Romelu Lukaku will resume their domestic rivalry on the international stage on Sunday as holders Portugal and in-form Belgium face off in the biggest tie of Euro 2020's last 16. Ronaldo is the Euro's leading scorer after netting five times in the group stage while Lukaku, who is in the form of his life, is lurking behind the Portugal captain with three goals. Juventus forward Ronaldo is also just one goal away from breaking Ali Daei's all-time international goalscoring record of 109, which he equalled with a brace against France in the European champions' final Group F game. The pair will take on each other at the Euro after doing battle in the Serie A scoring charts last season, with 36-year-old Ronaldo being crowned 'capocannoniere' after scoring 29 times in a difficult season for Juventus. However Lukaku pipped Ronaldo to the league's player of the season award last campaign despite scoring five fewer goals as he played a key role in Inter Milan winning their first league title in over a decade. His game seems to have moved up a level since he arrived at Inter in 2019 and Jan Vertonghen was full of praise for the 28-year-old's progress on Saturday.
