Probable starting Lineups Portugal-Wales

The first semi-final will take place tonight.

While Wales will play for the first time in their history in the Euro's semi-final, Portugal have already reached the semi-final in 2004 and advanced to the final. For Ronaldo it will be the third European Championship semi-final.

Both of them hope to advance but there can be only one winner. Bale is optimistic and hopes for the best. He compares his team's case with other football fairytales:

"We've obviously exceeded a lot of people's expectations, but we always believed we could go all the way - you see the fairytale of Greece [in 2004] and Denmark [in 1992] in the past and you think why can't we do it?"

Some of the Welsh player didn't even think to come that far and had other plans, but now that they arrived at the semi-final, they want to continue.

"It's not about two players, it is about two nations in a semi-final, 11 men against 11 men."

Tonight will be the first time that both sides meet in a competitive game and it will be the fourth time that the play against each other.

Portugal: Rui Patricio, Guerreiro, Fonte, Pepe, C.Soares, André Gomes, Moutinho, Danilo, Renato Sanches, C. Ronaldo, Nani.

Wales: Hennessey, Chester, A.William, Collins, Gunter, Ledley, Allen, Taylor, J.William, Robson-Kanu, Bale.
