:00:55. > :01:02.Greetings from Paris where the Euro 2016 quarterfinals are under way. It
:01:03. > :01:07.is Portugal against Poland, renowned up against Lewandowski. We have got
:01:08. > :01:14.Danny Murphy and Dean Saunders in the studio. He is very excited as he
:01:15. > :01:20.will be in the Wales camp shortly as they prepare for their game against
:01:21. > :01:31.Belgium. But first to Marseille where it is Poland versus Portugal.
:01:32. > :01:38.The big prize has remained out of reach for Portugal. In stark
:01:39. > :01:43.contrast to Poland are in uncharted waters having never previously won a
:01:44. > :01:48.match in the quarterfinals. Here they are in the last eight for the
:01:49. > :01:56.first time. Both will rightly fancy their chances tonight. Poland's
:01:57. > :01:59.goalkeeper, Lukasz Fabianski, has only conceded one goal with a solid
:02:00. > :02:06.and unchanged defence playing in front of him this evening.
:02:07. > :02:14.Blaszczykowski scored a great goal in the group match against Ukraine.
:02:15. > :02:29.There is plenty of firepower up front with Lewandowski. Felix Brooke
:02:30. > :02:38.is the referee denied. He took charge of the England versus Wales
:02:39. > :02:41.game earlier in the Championship. Portugal's goalkeeper, Rui Patrizio,
:02:42. > :02:50.did not have a shot to save against Croatia. Rafael Guerreiro is
:02:51. > :02:56.injured. Jose Fonte keeps his place in the starting XI. Renato Sanches
:02:57. > :03:04.starts the game having come off the bench in the last two and the attack
:03:05. > :03:15.is there with Nani and Cristiano Ronaldo who is one goal short of the
:03:16. > :03:22.record held by Michel Platini. Grosicki with the chance to run into
:03:23. > :03:27.the defence and Lewandowski scores inside two minutes. The captain
:03:28. > :03:35.deliveries in a big game for Poland. They have waited for a while Boro
:03:36. > :03:39.goal in this particular European search, but Lewandowski fires Poland
:03:40. > :03:45.in France in Marseille. That is the first goal he has scored at the
:03:46. > :03:51.European Championships since the opening match four years ago in
:03:52. > :03:56.Warsaw. It is poor defending from Cedric. But was it he gets his head
:03:57. > :04:04.up and Lewandowski holds back and waits for him. He gets himself in a
:04:05. > :04:09.great position. That is technically as good a finish as you will see
:04:10. > :04:18.from Lewandowski. What a start for Poland. Portugal have had more of
:04:19. > :04:31.the play. Poland with the goal and the threat on the break.
:04:32. > :04:39.Lewandowski got the better Pepe. He had the shot, but the goalkeeper was
:04:40. > :04:41.right it. It was a decent enough strike, but Rui Patrizio was on top
:04:42. > :05:04.in that situation. Pepe was able to deflect the ball
:05:05. > :05:28.behind. He looks a bit frustrated with a few of his team-mates.
:05:29. > :05:34.In the end Grosicki could not find his team-mate in the centre to
:05:35. > :05:40.finish of what could have been a wonderful goal. It would have been a
:05:41. > :06:03.wonderful goal. It was excellent from Poland. One touch passing.
:06:04. > :06:12.Ronaldo had a chance to shoot. The first save required from Lukasz
:06:13. > :06:17.Fabianski. That in the end it was relatively routine. He did not quite
:06:18. > :06:30.get hold of it, it was under his feet. Patient play from Portugal.
:06:31. > :06:33.Portugal are claiming they should get a penalty kick for that
:06:34. > :06:41.challenge from Pazdan. The referee is having none of it. It is a clear
:06:42. > :06:46.foul from Pazdan. He is making no effort to win the ball. That is a
:06:47. > :06:51.clear penalty. It is the poor decision from the referee. Jose
:06:52. > :07:17.Fonte gets a free kick. Renato Sanches finds the corner of
:07:18. > :07:24.the net. The 18-year-old has his country in raptures. They are back
:07:25. > :07:29.in this quarterfinal. Fernando Santos, the coach, put him in the
:07:30. > :07:34.starting XI at last. And the decision has been more than
:07:35. > :07:40.vindicated. Poland are a little static, but take nothing away from
:07:41. > :07:48.Renato Sanches. Once he sees the eyes of Nani and plays the past, he
:07:49. > :07:54.is immediately on the move. The Polish players are a bit slow to
:07:55. > :08:02.react. A slight deflection on the strike, but what a finish. Fabianski
:08:03. > :08:11.had no chance. It has been a really good reaction from Portugal after
:08:12. > :08:13.going behind. Portugal have never been able to score more than one
:08:14. > :08:40.goal at the European Championship. Cedric sends that one flashing right
:08:41. > :08:46.across the face of the goal. How close was it? It was struck well
:08:47. > :09:10.enough. That was good play. An excellent
:09:11. > :09:17.save by Rui Patricio. An excellent passage of play. Jedrzejczyk was in
:09:18. > :09:45.a difficult position to be able to hook it back past the goal.
:09:46. > :09:52.Really close to finding Ronaldo, but then it almost did not matter
:09:53. > :09:58.because he almost took it past his own goalkeeper and into the corner
:09:59. > :10:11.of the net. If it goes beyond Jedrzejczyk, you fancy Ronaldo.
:10:12. > :10:19.That could have been a chance for Ronaldo. He does not miss chances
:10:20. > :10:24.like that very often. Superb movement, a tremendous ball. That
:10:25. > :10:44.was a chance and a half. Ronaldo almost in there about four
:10:45. > :10:46.yards out. That is another one, he made up a lot of ground, Cristiano
:10:47. > :11:08.Ronaldo. What stodgy fare we have had in
:11:09. > :11:13.extra time. Is there time for one last attack? Portugal need to get
:11:14. > :11:23.the ball in the penalty area now surely. But the referee blows the
:11:24. > :11:27.final whistle. Cristiano Ronaldo, having on previous occasions held
:11:28. > :11:31.himself back to take what could be the decisive winning penalty, has
:11:32. > :11:39.put himself forward here to try and put his side on the road to victory
:11:40. > :11:46.by putting the first one in against Fabianski from Swansea and Poland.
:11:47. > :11:55.Deafening whistles in his ears. It did not trouble Ronaldo, slamming
:11:56. > :12:00.the ball home. 1- 04 Portugal. A positive start. Ronaldo was waiting
:12:01. > :12:13.for Fabianski to move before drilling it the other way. Now it is
:12:14. > :12:19.Lewandowski, the man who scored that goal so early in the evening. He put
:12:20. > :12:28.his penalty away into the top corner against Switzerland. What will he
:12:29. > :12:34.try and do here? Completely different, but the same result. It
:12:35. > :12:40.is calm and composed. Lewandowski again waits for Rui Patricio to
:12:41. > :12:47.move. Renato Sanches, who drew Portugal level, a responsibility
:12:48. > :13:08.here for the 18-year-old. He put his hand up. It is some responsibility.
:13:09. > :13:17.In his first season of first-team football. Leading from the front for
:13:18. > :13:23.his country at 18. Decisive, firmly struck, confident, and in keeping
:13:24. > :13:37.with his performance this evening. Yes, totally. Fabianski has gone the
:13:38. > :13:48.wrong way twice now. He scored his spot kick in the shoot out the other
:13:49. > :13:54.day. Will he keep his nerve? Or will Rui Patricio have the final say?
:13:55. > :14:04.This is to make it 2-2. That is precisely what it is. Four good
:14:05. > :14:18.penalties so far. People going the wrong way. That is a top-class
:14:19. > :14:33.penalty. This is the third 14 Portugal. He came off the bench.
:14:34. > :14:40.And he sends Fabianski the wrong way. Another expertly taken spot
:14:41. > :14:57.kick. This is a masterclass in penalty taking.
:14:58. > :15:02.Hall via he looks like he is walking to the dentist, about to have a
:15:03. > :15:14.tooth taken Kamil Glik, scored against
:15:15. > :15:18.Switzerland, he has sent the ball at a fair old rate of knots into the
:15:19. > :15:22.net and Rui Patricio will not get anywhere near it. Goalkeeper has
:15:23. > :15:26.gone the wrong way. He has got some power.
:15:27. > :15:47.3-3. Nani For Portugal. Scored twice in regulation time. Not from the
:15:48. > :15:56.spot, but in open play, can he had an important penalty here, to put
:15:57. > :16:03.Portugal 4-3 up. Yes, he can. Seven out of seven between them, these two
:16:04. > :16:15.sides. Seven out of seven, goalkeeper diving the other way,
:16:16. > :16:16.composed from Nani. Jakub Blaszczykowski. Another one who took
:16:17. > :16:40.a kick and scored in the last 16. First one missed, saved by Rui
:16:41. > :16:43.Patricio. Jakub Blaszczykowski Was the hero the last time they played
:16:44. > :16:52.in this stadium, with a wonderful goal. That left hand of Rui Patricio
:16:53. > :16:59.just gives Portugal the advantage here now. No real conviction from
:17:00. > :17:14.Blaszczykowski Bob what a chance now Blaszczykowski Bob what a chance now
:17:15. > :17:19.for Portugal. This is decisive. This is Quaresma's moment for Portugal.
:17:20. > :17:27.Takes his time... He finds the back of the net. They have done it on
:17:28. > :17:40.penalty kicks, through to the semifinals. It is Poland going home.
:17:41. > :17:48.Only one penalty kick missed. Blaszczykowski's shot saved by Rui
:17:49. > :17:51.Patricio, and Ricardo Quaresma, who scored the winning goal in extra
:17:52. > :18:01.time against Croatia, in the last 16, scored the penalty that puts his
:18:02. > :18:05.team through to the last four. Suddenly, Cristiano Ronaldo has
:18:06. > :18:13.forgotten all of the frustrations that he was feeling throughout the
:18:14. > :18:22.evening. Poland are left to reflect on a near miss. It was a match that
:18:23. > :18:27.started so well but in the end was very disappointing. The penalties
:18:28. > :18:32.were decent, Portugal win, 5-3, on penalties, after a 1-1 draw in
:18:33. > :18:36.Marseille. STUDIO: Amazing statistics about the game: Poland
:18:37. > :18:38.had not been behind for a single minute at this European
:18:39. > :18:42.Championships, and Portugal still have not won a game in 90 minutes
:18:43. > :18:46.and yet they are through. Did they deserve it?
:18:47. > :18:52.Regarding the format there has been more positives than negatives, leave
:18:53. > :18:56.it at that(!) but overall, the goal try to win the game more, they
:18:57. > :19:00.pushed forward, had the better chances, I'm glad they are through,
:19:01. > :19:05.they deserved it, always like to see the best team go through. They had
:19:06. > :19:10.to come from behind, looking at the goals chronologically, first goal in
:19:11. > :19:12.seven games for Robert Lewandowski. The positives and the negatives. He
:19:13. > :19:23.has got off the mark, which is good. Guaranteed that this is straight off
:19:24. > :19:37.the training ground. Cut the ball back, Robert Lewandowski points at
:19:38. > :19:40.Milik. The right back, Cedric, he makes a misjudgement, but when this
:19:41. > :19:44.happens, the central midfielder, which is where I played, you spot
:19:45. > :19:51.danger, you have got to get back, you have got to sprint. Help the
:19:52. > :19:54.centre halves, the gap is too big. Lewandowski, in a position, Ricardo
:19:55. > :19:59.Carvalho does not sprint to get back, if he does, he will stop the
:20:00. > :20:03.goal. That is just spotting danger. He did not start the game
:20:04. > :20:10.particularly well but it was a super finish. From the Portuguese point of
:20:11. > :20:13.view, the youngest player to score in the knockout stages of the Euros,
:20:14. > :20:17.Renato Sanches, both of you impressed with the way that he
:20:18. > :20:21.created the goal for himself. His goal from start to finish, free kick
:20:22. > :20:26.given, switches on, does not knock off, finds space, for an
:20:27. > :20:32.18-year-old, picks the ball up, drives at the Polish defence,
:20:33. > :20:37.positive, 1-2 with Nani, great lay-off, first touch, perfect.
:20:38. > :20:49.Quality strike. Good all day. From a defensive point of view,
:20:50. > :20:55.it is a pause here that does it, watching the ball, ball watching,
:20:56. > :21:00.you teach it when you are kids, semi-players still do it, it was
:21:01. > :21:04.Kamil Grosicki. Too late, in the back of the net. Amazingly, I have
:21:05. > :21:09.only ever played in all of my years with one coach that ever did a
:21:10. > :21:13.session on how to stop give and gos, we keep picking them up but how do
:21:14. > :21:18.you stop it, but Marc Bolland did it, every Friday, Dane with that --
:21:19. > :21:24.day before a game, five or ten minute drill, give and go, and you,
:21:25. > :21:28.the defender, not allowed to look at the ball, you would stop the man
:21:29. > :21:32.with your arm. -- Mark Bowen. I do not remember one goal going in that
:21:33. > :21:36.season from a give and go. You are not allowed to watch the ball. That
:21:37. > :21:42.is the drill, only the man, you stand in his way. You are not
:21:43. > :21:47.creating much, you just stand in the way, you are not creating a foul,
:21:48. > :21:51.but so what, it stops a goal. For Poland, you have been impressed with
:21:52. > :21:56.Krychowiak all tournament, is in the losing side, but he gets the rhythm
:21:57. > :22:01.and the tempo right. Deserves a special mention, usually we talk
:22:02. > :22:04.about his passing ability, his skill, his calmness on the ball, but
:22:05. > :22:11.it was break-up play to night, spotting danger, on the front foot,
:22:12. > :22:14.could have been 12, 13 examples, that I could have shown, this is
:22:15. > :22:20.what I am talking about, spotting danger. Knowing when to go forward,
:22:21. > :22:25.keeping position, very rarely does he go to ground, you never see him
:22:26. > :22:33.diving in, getting done, strong in his use of the ball. Everything they
:22:34. > :22:36.did come through, and look at that, nice and powerful, stays calm, plays
:22:37. > :22:41.out from his team. Did this throughout the whole game. The ugly
:22:42. > :22:46.side of the game, people call it, but the enjoys doing it, always
:22:47. > :22:51.calm. Could have died in, Ronaldo, one of the best players, waits... He
:22:52. > :22:56.will be devastated, he was the best player on the pitch this evening. --
:22:57. > :23:01.could have dived in. Pepe was great, but from an elbow's point of view,
:23:02. > :23:05.his team has made it this far but we have seen in nowhere near produce
:23:06. > :23:10.the quality he produced for Real Madrid. He trying too hard, that's
:23:11. > :23:14.desperate to win things with Portugal, it is not happening for
:23:15. > :23:18.him, not striking the ball clean, lifting his head a little bit, that
:23:19. > :23:24.is a penalty, great run into the box, how the referee does not give a
:23:25. > :23:29.penalty for that... I don't know. And here again, makes a great run.
:23:30. > :23:34.Not a good finish. For his ability. Movement in the box is good, takes
:23:35. > :23:37.his eye off the ball again. Sometimes do that when you are
:23:38. > :23:44.trying too hard, that pass is perfect, difficult finish, having a
:23:45. > :23:48.lot of air shots. That means... He has looked at the keeper on that
:23:49. > :23:55.one. And there are, took his eye off it again. I don't know why he is
:23:56. > :24:00.looking. I agree with Dean, trying too hard, I never thought I would
:24:01. > :24:04.say that about Ronaldo, but I was in with Rio and Thierry and they did
:24:05. > :24:07.not quite agree but he is so desperate, he is snatching at
:24:08. > :24:13.things. I do hope that is bad form continues... LAUGHTER
:24:14. > :24:17.Poland, another team that could join the long list of teams that have not
:24:18. > :24:21.gone for it and go home thinking, what could have been. I don't know
:24:22. > :24:28.if they have the quality or the fitness... Speaking with Deano,
:24:29. > :24:32.level of fitness does not seem good, in this tournament, I expect them to
:24:33. > :24:35.be powerful and fit, with the time they have had to build up but once
:24:36. > :24:40.again they were very negative. Should have gone home against the
:24:41. > :24:44.Swiss. Sank back to their own box, they barely went up the field stop
:24:45. > :24:49.we will hear from the Wales camp shortly, already packed for that,
:24:50. > :24:53.but Vicente del Bosque has resigned as coach of Spain, two days after
:24:54. > :24:56.they were knocked out by Italy, eight years in charge, led them to
:24:57. > :25:02.their first ever World Cup triumph, 2010, winning the Euros in 2012,
:25:03. > :25:06.that was a repeat of what they had done in 2008 under Louis 0-G honest.
:25:07. > :25:13.Spain long gone, Wales Belgium who will face Portugal and we will bring
:25:14. > :25:17.you again tomorrow on BBC One. Luis Aragones --. And a heavyweight clash
:25:18. > :25:24.for you, Germany against Italy. -- Luis Aragones. Tomorrow night could
:25:25. > :25:27.be a huge one for Wales, Chris Coleman's side could be through to
:25:28. > :25:32.their first-ever semifinal at a major tournament if they win in
:25:33. > :25:43.Lyon. COMMENTATOR: Another Wales win, and on they go. We said Wales
:25:44. > :25:47.can't lose, not meant to get to the quarterfinals, but this is another
:25:48. > :25:52.huge test. More pressure on each game that we go through, we are
:25:53. > :25:56.fully focused on the next game. You either hide from the challenge, or
:25:57. > :26:02.you stand up to it. Put yourself out there. It does not come from off the
:26:03. > :26:06.pitch, team spirit, that is full steam spirit, it must come from on
:26:07. > :26:11.the pitch. That is where this group get it from. We are a band of
:26:12. > :26:18.Brothers, we trust each other so much, really. COMMENTATOR: Eden
:26:19. > :26:25.Hazard... Absolutely brilliant! We know a lot about LGM, but it is all
:26:26. > :26:30.about us, all about Wales, our preparation does not change. -- we
:26:31. > :26:34.know a lot about Belgium. You can be naive, you get found out very
:26:35. > :26:38.quickly, we cannot rest on our laurels and think that we have made
:26:39. > :26:44.it, because as soon as you do that, then football will bite you in the
:26:45. > :26:50.back. Belgium will not change what they do. If you are as good as
:26:51. > :26:55.Belgium, why would you change? They play with imagination, they have
:26:56. > :26:59.pace and power. We will defend with our lives, and when it is time to
:27:00. > :27:04.attack, we will attack with our lives, and if we do that, Belgium
:27:05. > :27:07.will be in for a hell of a game. There will be massive respect
:27:08. > :27:13.between teams, we will have to perform at our very best to get a
:27:14. > :27:16.result, we believe that we can, and if we can, then it will be right up
:27:17. > :27:21.there with anything we have ever done. Tomorrow night, one of us will
:27:22. > :27:27.be exiting the tournament, no second chances, no coming away with a draw.
:27:28. > :27:32.There is no saying, that is OK, we live to fight another day.
:27:33. > :27:36.Everything is on its tomorrow. You can feel how big a game it is, you
:27:37. > :27:42.have worked with a lot of these players, do you feel they can deal
:27:43. > :27:46.with this? And the expectation? No pressure on them, we have a system
:27:47. > :27:52.that we played to and we play it a long time, attacking and defending,
:27:53. > :27:57.that gives you confidence. They are delighted to be where they are.
:27:58. > :28:01.Ashley Williams is back, how big a factor is that, after what happened
:28:02. > :28:04.with the shoulder? Really important, I think perhaps the shoulder popped
:28:05. > :28:10.out and went back in, did not think that he would be fit. He is like Mel
:28:11. > :28:17.Gibson in lethal weapon, pops it back in, gets on with it! LAUGHTER
:28:18. > :28:21.Could they be stretched at the back? This is the potential back four, 78
:28:22. > :28:27.caps between them, but the vast majority is for Toby Alderweireld.
:28:28. > :28:30.Yes, you could have the left and right back coming in for Jan
:28:31. > :28:33.Vertonghen and Thomas Vermaelen, that really would be a blow for
:28:34. > :28:38.them. With Gareth Bale going forward, that could be beneficial.
:28:39. > :28:43.My slight concern, if Belgium play really well, that front three, I
:28:44. > :28:47.think Wales will be in trouble, they need Belgium to have an off night.
:28:48. > :28:53.The think Hungary made Belgium look good? Definitely a bit of that, to
:28:54. > :28:58.open. -- do you think. The Welsh will have to have the game of their
:28:59. > :29:02.lives, but why not. They will come at us, we must defend well. But we
:29:03. > :29:07.will definitely get openings. Supremely confident, what a night it
:29:08. > :29:12.promises to be tomorrow, if Wales can get past Belgian, they will face
:29:13. > :29:20.Portugal in the last four. Dean loves it, look at his face, he loves
:29:21. > :29:25.it! The night! -- good night. COMMENTATOR: Let the quarterfinals
:29:26. > :29:29.begin... Robert Lewandowski scores inside two minutes. Ronaldo with a
:29:30. > :29:38.chance to shoot. Portugal claiming they should get a penalty kick...
