Euro2016: Belgium captain Hazard expects tough knockout clash with Hungary

Belgium's Eden Hazard foresees a difficult Euro2016 knockout stage fixture against Hungary.

The Red Devils will meet the Hungarians in the Round of 16 in Toulouse on Sunday and after watching them draw 3-3 with Portugal on Wednesday, Hazard knows it will not be a simple affair for he and his teammates.

"Hungary will be a complicated game.

"We watched the last bit of their match versus Portugal. They have some good players and always give 200 per cent.

"We expect a difficult game, but we have to be ready.

"We will see at the end of the tournament if we are indeed in the easy part of the schedule, without any favourites.

"But there are no easy games. We saw today that Ireland beat Italy."
