it is not just about cristiano ronaldo. we have 22 other players in the squad who are expected to step up. the only way we will progress in this tournament is if they do. but there's a fascinating subplot really to this game. there's lots of players who play in la liga on both sides. so diego godin from uruguay plays atletico madrid. they all know each other inside out. and know how to stop each other. but it will be very, very close encounter. the sad news is whoever wins, there will be a whole host of fantastic superstars heading home at the end of today. >> okay. amanda, enjoy the action. thank you. thank you for watching "cnn newsroom." i'm anna coren in hong kong. for u.s. viewers "new day" is next. for everyone else, stay tune forward "amanpour."
