    France vs Belgium: Key players and their impact

    European titans France and Belgium face each other in a blockbuster semi-final encounter on Tuesday at the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2018. Both teams have have improved vastly as the tournament has progressed and they have beaten notable teams as well. These two teams have some big superstars in their line-ups, but who could have the maximum impact? Let's have a look.

    Antoine Griezmann - France

    Frenchman Antoine Griezmann is their most valued player given his ability to perform in big matches. The Atletico Madrid star has scored three goals in five matches. His link-up play with Olivier Giroud and Kylian Mbappe in attack has been a dream combination. Griezmann has had 14 attempts with 8 shots on target. From both inside and outside the box, he has been effective.

    N'Golo Kante - France

    One of the best defensive mid-fielders in recent times, Kante is a sheer magician in winning the ball and making key interceptions. His energy could make the difference against Belgium in thwarting key movements. His positioning and anticipation hold the key for France. He has recovered the ball 52 times in five games and has also made 11 clearances.

    Kevin De Bruyne - Belgium

    The versatile player can play in a number of key positions across the pitch. De Bruyne has played mainly as a mid-fielder, but against Brazil he was deployed as a false nine. This tactical change paid off with him scoring a brilliant goal. His understanding with Romelu Lukaku has been crucial. He has delivered the ball 14 times in opposition's penalty area.

    Romelu Lukaku - Belgium

    Lukaku started the campaign on a strong note and has scored four goals so far. But in the knock-outs he hasn't managed to score a goal till now. However, he had two key moments in the previous two games. His dummy against Japan helped his side win with the final shot. Even against Brazil he assisted De Bruyne. He can be the difference tonight.
