Eden Hazard and the Belgians became the first side in 48 years to win a World Cup game from 2-0 down when they dramatically beat Japan 3-2 in the last 16 game.

Both these sides had three players each on the 2017 Ballon d'Or shortlist; Neymar, Marcelo and Philippe Coutinho for Brazil, with Kevin de Bruyne, Eden Hazard and Dries Mertens representing Belgium.
