Belgium captain, Eden Hazard, has said it would be “magnificent” to face Brazil in the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Hazard featured for his country on Monday, as they fought back from two goals down to beat Japan 3-2, in a round of 16 clash.
The Chelsea star now has his sights set on facing Brazil on Friday, for a place in the last four.
“The reaction we showed today was great and maybe it is this type of match we needed for the future as we could have been eliminated but we are into the quarter-finals,” Hazard told reporters after the game.
“When it comes to the match on Friday, it is going to be magnificent because playing against Brazil is always amazing as a football player.
“We are going to rest really well and going to really try to win that match.”
