Wales defender Neil Taylor is eager to see national teammate Gareth Bale take on Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo when the two nations meet in the Euro 2016 semi-finals.

Wales defender Neil Taylor has expressed his delight at the prospect of compatriot Gareth Bale taking on Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo at Euro 2016.

The Dragons defeated Belgium 3-1 in Friday night's quarter-final in Lille to book a date with the Selecao on Wednesday night.

Taylor told BBC Sport: "It is good that two of the world's best players can meet at this part of the tournament, which is why we are so happy for Gareth and players like him, that we have managed to get him to this part of the tournament where he can really affect games and show what he is all about.

"But I think tonight we showed we are about more than just that and we are definitely a team. We had three different scorers and I should have scored myself – it was a very good save.

"I think we showed again we are about the team – the subs that came on did really well too. Apart from a goal we could not do anything about, there was not much threat really."

Both Bale and Ronaldo play their club football at Spanish giants Real Madrid.
