Reporter's view

Carlos Machado, match reporter: After what Roberto Martínez said was Portugal's worst performance since he took over, the hosts have something to prove. Denmark were tough and positive at home, but if Portugal have the players and the quality to qualify, they need to show a lot more in terms of attitude and aggression in the second leg. Portugal were favourites on paper before Thursday night's game, but things have changed. Let us see whether the Seleção can show what they are capable of against a Denmark side that will be eager to cause trouble again.

What the coaches say

Roberto Martínez, Portugal coach: "Our performance in the first leg was poor, but it was against a strong team in Denmark that played well. They are aggressive and press high up the pitch. The second game is at home, because we finished first in the group, and we need to re-evaluate. The stadium is sold out, and these are the games we enjoy and are proud to play in."

Brian Riemer, Denmark coach: "There is a limit to what you can change in 72 hours. We are facing one of the biggest national names in European football, and I still consider them favourites. But we have a good starting point with the one-goal advantage, and we believe in ourselves. We have the plan prepared. It's important that we're mentally ready when the whistle blows. We can't allow Portugal the opportunity to get their machine going."

What's next?

The winner of this match-up will advance to the Final Four and face the winner of Italy and Germany's quarter-final tie in the semi-finals.
