Fabregas: Portugal vs Spain like El Clasico
Cesc Fabregas dubbed Spain’s semi-final with neighbours Portugal as the El Clasico of Euro 2012, The Sun reported.
The ex-Arsenal star believes that Portugal’s style mirrors Real Madrid’s counter-attacking style — using the explosive pace of Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani.
Champions Spain use Barcelona’s passing template, basing their game on their Nou Camp geniuses.
“You can liken and compare it to Real Madrid–Barcelona in terms of the respective styles of the teams.
“But there are different players and we also have players from many teams so it’ll not be the same.”
