Spain face Belgium in a blockbuster FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-final in Los Angeles. Spain coach Luis de la Fuente makes a surprise selection by leaving midfielder Pedri out of the starting XI and choosing Fabian Ruiz instead. Belgium welcome Kevin De Bruyne back to the lineup, but captain Youri Tielemans misses the match after suffering an injury during the warm-up. Spain enter the contest with a record run of World Cup minutes without conceding a goal. Teenage star Lamine Yamal also has the chance to become the youngest goalscorer in a World Cup knockout match in the 21st century.
