## Resource

Portugal and Spain ignite a historic World Cup clash—their 42nd meeting, fueled by a rivalry dating back to 1921. Spain enters as favorites after a smooth run, while Portugal, who scraped through with a last-minute goal, packs lethal firepower. Their most recent showdown—a 2023 Nations League final—ended in a dramatic penalty shootout win for Portugal, their sixth triumph in the series. Six of their last seven matches have ended in draws, with the 2018 World Cup meeting a thrilling 3-3 draw featuring Ronaldo’s hat-trick. This World Cup clash marks only the third time they’ve met in tournament history, with Spain’s 2010 win—the only one decided by a controversial offside goal—still echoing. Expect fireworks, stalemates, and history made.
