Messi, Mbappe in the typical team of the round of 16

In the history of the World Cup, only two other goalkeepers have ever blocked three penalties in a single match, namely Ricardo for Portugal in 2006 and Danijel Subasic for Croatia in 2018. Therefore, Livakovic was selected despite defending. Yassine Bounou also impressed with Spain's two penalty kicks, helping Morocco go through.

The 39-year-old midfielder Pepe became the second oldest player in history to score at the World Cup, helping Portugal beat Switzerland 6-1. Silva at the age of 38 also became the oldest player to assist in a World Cup goal since 1966.

Griezmann again impressed with his comprehensive contribution to attack and defense, helping France beat Poland 3-1. He moved the most in the match, with a distance of 11,257 m, standing out with a situation where he backed into the penalty area to clear the ball leading to Kylian Mbappe's first goal.

Bellingham assisted a goal to help England beat Senegal 3-0, and was scored by Whoscored statistics as the highest score in the match. The 19-year-old midfielder topped the game with five successful blocks, either from an opponent's pass or shot.
