Spain will meet Portugal in the round of 16 of the 2010 World Cup.
“We hope the trouble we had in the group stage will make Spain a stronger team. We are pleased with our performances so far and happy to have finished top in the group after the start we had,” said Ramos to Marca.
“Portugal are a great team and they are in top form. I am looking forward to playing against team-mates and friends Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe. Let’s see if we can make it to the quarter-finals.
“Cristiano is very fast, strong and a speedster with the ball at his feet. We have to prevent him from receiving the ball and having a lot of room to work with.”
