Belgium's Eden Hazard says the Euro 2016 quarter-final clash with Wales will be 'complicated' after failing to beat them in qualifying. Belgium drew and lost against Wales in the European Qualifiers campaign, but looked in fine form on Sunday night with a 4-0 win over Hungary in the last 16 in Toulouse.
Hazard put in an impressive man-of-the-match performance, scoring one and setting up another, but says Belgium will need to study Chris Coleman's side closely ahead of the clash in Lille on Friday. He said after the game in Toulouse: "They're a complicated side to play against. We played them in the qualifiers, we haven't beaten them I don't think.
"They're quite a compact side with a star player up front [Gareth Bale] so we're going to have to study them well and try to do our best to win this match."
Hazard can't wait to play in Lille - a northern French city close to the Belgian border - where he starred for four seasons before moving to England, but says Sunday's showing will be difficult to top.
"Doing better than tonight would be difficult, I think. Everything was almost perfect. We scored goals, we created a lot of chances, we helped Thibaut [Courtois] keep a clean sheet.
