Intro:

Spain trained on Tuesday ahead of their semi-final clash against their Iberian neighbours Portugal.

Script:

The Spain squad were training in Donetsk on Tuesday ahead of their semi-final clash with Portugal.

Ironically this training base was France's base camp until they were beaten by the Spaniards in the quarter-finals.

Vicente del Bosque's men will undoubtedly be planning to contain Cristiano Ronaldo as the world champions attempt to reach their third consecutive final.

The Portuguese star isn't the only Real Madrid player Spain will have to face, with defenders Pepe and Fabio Coentrao also key members of the Portugal side.

Spain's performance against France in their 2-0 quarter-final win was viewed in many quarters as lacking in attack, with their possession failing to provide much in the way of a spectacle.

Del Bosque is considering changing his side for the semi-final with striker Fernando Torres and winger Pedro being mooted for starting berths.

But we'll have to wait til Wednesday night to see just what happens in Donesk.
