&ldquo;Everyone on our team realises it&rsquo;s possible. I think we have a strong squad &zwnj;with qualities that Spain will have to take into account,&rdquo; Courtois was quoted as saying by Reuters ahead of Wednesday&rsquo;s training session.
&ldquo;There are surprises in every tournament&hellip; the Champions League, the Europa League, the World Cup. There are always surprises, and I think we can be one of them. Eliminating the European champions would obviously be a huge upset. The confidence is there,&rdquo; he added.
Belgium, captained by the impressive Youri Tielemans, have had a rollercoaster ride in the knockout phase.
