Both sides came through thrilling last-16 matches, with Spain seeing off Croatia in extra time and the Swiss enjoying that famous penalty shootout victory over world champions France.
The stakes are high in St Petersburg this evening with a place in the semi-finals at stake, where the winner would meet either Belgium or Italy in the last four at Wembley.

Here’s Luis Enrique, the Spain coach: “I’m ready for games like [the 5-3 win against Croatia] if we have another – but I’m not sure if my family or the fans feel the same! We won’t play long-ball, defensive football even if playing the way we do brings wild matches. We only defend by trying to own the ball and play.”
