Portugal-Croatia, formations published. Ronaldo and Modric on the field

The national teams of Portugal and Croatia will face each other in the round of 16 of the World Cup.

This challenge takes on special significance as it pits two of the most prominent figures in world football, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric, against each other.

The Croatian team comes into this round after positive results in the last two editions of this tournament, where they reached the semi-finals. However, statistics show that Croatia has never managed to score a victory over the Portuguese in official meetings.

The match pits two different playing strategies against each other, with Portugal's fast style clashing with the organization and midfield control applied by the Croatians.

The winner of this match will secure passage to the round of 16, where they will face Spain.

A few minutes before the start of the match, both technical staffs have published the official lineups of the players who will take the field.
