Luis Enrique, the Spain coach, has backed his captain Sergio Ramos as the team continues to rely on the goalscoring defender.
 
"We may not have a goalscoring No.9, but we have a lot of ways to get to goal," Enrique said. 
 
"Our top scorer is a defender [Ramos}. But I know that if the result had been bad, it would have been said that we don't have a goalscorer. I hope he achieves a lot more with the national team. 
 
"He's a leader but with more than words. He is an example and that's how he leads. Having Sergio Ramos [in a team] is very easy for a coach."
 
The last meeting between Portugal and Spain was on 15 June 2018.
 
The two teams played to a 3-3 draw in the 2018 FIFA World Cup match which was played at the Olimpiyskiy Stadion Fisht.
