Wales winger Gareth Bale describes the Euro 2016 quarter-final against Belgium as his country's biggest match since the 1958 World Cup.

Wales winger Gareth Bale has declared his side's Euro 2016 quarter-final against Belgium on Friday as the team's most important match for more than half a century.

Chris Coleman's side have surpassed expectations in France so far, topping Group B before edging past Northern Ireland to reach the last eight at their first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup.

Wales also made it to the last eight on that occasion, and Bale is in no doubt that the Belgium clash will be the nation's biggest game since then.

"It's definitely the biggest game in Welsh football since then. We want to enjoy the occasion and take it all in and hopefully get through to the semis. Every day now is important, leading up to the biggest game for us," he told reporters.

"We have our reasons for [training] behind closed doors. Ashley [Williams] took part in most of training today so he's OK. We're used to teams trying to predict the way we're going to play but we have our own gameplan and identity.

"We don't need extra motivation at all - [Belgium] are a very good team and their goal is to win the Euros. [Expecting to win is] completely their opinion and we're happy with that. We've beaten them before and we're happy with that."

Wales would be due to face either Poland or Portugal in the semi-finals if they beat Belgium.
