Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is confident that his side can upset Spain on Friday.
"Everyone on our team realises it's possible. I think we have a strong squad âwith qualities that Spain will have to take into account," Courtois was quoted as saying by Reuters ahead of Wednesday's training session.
"There are surprises in every tournament⦠the Champions League, the Europa League, the World Cup. There are always surprises, and I think we can be one of them. Eliminating the European champions would obviously be a huge upset. The confidence is there," he added.
Belgium, captained by the impressive Youri Tielemans, have had a rollercoaster ride in the knockout phase.
First they came back from the dead to beat Senegal 3-2 before sweeping aside co-hosts the United States in the last 16, thanks to Charles De Ketelaere's first-half double.
