at 23:00 on December 10, Beijing time, the quarter-finals between Morocco and Portugal will be held at Artuma Stadium , which will also be the curtain call for Artuma Stadium in this World Cup.
Atlas Lions can be said to be the biggest dark horse of this World Cup. They drew with the last runner-up Croatia in the first round in the group stage, defeated the last third Belgium in the second round, and then won the Canadian team in the last round, with two wins and one draw in three games and remained unbeaten. In the end, the first place in the group advanced to the knockout round. Originally, many people thought that the results of the Moroccan team in the group stage were already impressive enough to go home with peace of mind, but they once again eliminated the Spanish team in the 1/8 finals without being optimistic, and were able to continue their Qatar journey.

In the game against Spain, the Moroccan team showed their tenacious fighting spirit to fans around the world. The team did their homework and the pass line that threatened the Spanish team was very limited. Whether it was the starting Asensio or the substitute Morata , Moroccan players all restricted their further movements after getting the ball. At the same time, the defense of Busquets was almost perfect. Professor Bu had almost no chance to pass the threatening ball.
It can be said that Morocco's targeted defense has almost paralyzed the Spanish team's offense, but Morocco has many good opportunities to score in the late game. In the end, both sides survived the penalty shootout. This time the protagonist was goalkeeper Bunu, who performed a wonderful three-game save to help the Moroccan team advance to the quarterfinals historically.

The clever hunters often appear in the posture of prey. Croatia, Belgium and Spain suffered a fall in front of the Atlas Lions one after another. Against the Portuguese team, the Lions are ready. Midfielder Sabiri said in an interview: "Morocco is not coming to Qatar to play three group games. Now we will face Portugal. We will maximize the characteristics of the team. Morocco is not afraid of Portugal."
, which does not start with C Ronaldo, in the quarterfinals, won 6-1 against Switzerland , and Santos' bold changes have achieved miraculous results. Gonzalo Ramos , who replaced Ronaldo, contributed half of the team's goals and became the well-deserved MVP in that game, which also gave Benfica, the "European black store" he played for, and another chance to make a big profit.

Ramos from Benfica youth training and began to play in the first team in 2020. The current contract with the team is 2026. After the World Cup, will this 21-year-old boy have a team to take him under his command? Ronaldo looked at Ramos on the bench, his eyes full of the 21-year-old self.
In addition, 39-year-old monk Pepe scored a goal in the corner offense. At 39 years and 283 days, he became the oldest goalkeeper in the World Cup knockout stage. After Pereira missed this World Cup due to injury, Pepe stood up and announced to the world with his performance that Pepe is still the trustworthy Pepe.
In this game, the performance of the two full-backs in Portugal was also eye-catching. Danilo and Guerrero are both offensive players. Their active forward greatly strengthened Portugal's offensive firepower, and Guerrero even scored goals and assists. The torch of Portugal, which was passed down from generation to generation, gradually showed signs of winning the championship under the bold changes of Santos.Judging from the training situation that opened for 15 minutes the day before the game, Ronaldo may still miss the start in this game.

Portugal tied with England with 12 goals to the team with the most goals in the quarterfinals. The two sides had two confrontations in the World Cup, with each team winning one. Now this third confrontation will be a contradictory battle.
