Wales host Poland in a Euro 2024 play-off final at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday with a place in Germany this summer at stake.

Only one place separates the two nations in the FIFA world rankings 바카라“ Wales are 29th, Poland 30th 바카라“ but the visitors possess one of football바카라™s greatest-ever goalscorers in their ranks.

Lewandowski has scored 82 goals for Poland and the 35-year-old Barcelona striker is the fourth overall men바카라™s international goalscorer in Europe behind Romelu Lukaku (83), Ferenc Puskas (84) and Cristiano Ronaldo (128).

바카라œEveryone knows how dangerous he is,바카라 said Fulham forward Wilson.

바카라œHis hunger to score goals is the biggest thing about him and he바카라™s scored everywhere he바카라™s been in his career.

바카라œHe might not be getting younger, but if we give him half a sniff at goal he바카라™s going to take it.

바카라œWe need to make sure we stop him and don바카라™t give him space or chances.

바카라œIf we do that we바카라™re confident with the quality in our dressing room going the other way that we can really hurt them.바카라

Lewandowski failed to score as Poland booked their final place by thrashing Estonia 5-1 in Warsaw on Thursday, with Wilson saying: 바카라œI바카라™m not sure if that바카라™s a good thing ahead of our game.바카라

Wales also coasted to an emphatic 4-1 semi-final victory over Finland, with Wilson showing the form that Fulham fans have become accustomed to at Craven Cottage.

바카라œI feel I have moved to the next level,바카라 said Wilson. 바카라œThe move to Fulham two-and-a-half years ago now was a big one for me.

바카라œI바카라™d been on a lot of loans from Liverpool. Although my dream as a young lad was to make it into Liverpool바카라™s first team and play regularly, I knew that wasn바카라™t going to be the case.

바카라œWhen I was 18, 19 and 20, I was trying to get into the team but they had, arguably, the best front three in the world (Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane).

바카라œSo all the loans I went on really helped me to grow as a player and learn the game. It got to a stage in my life where I wanted to get settled from a personal side of things as well.

바카라œSo when the Fulham move came up, I spoke to Marco Silva and I feel it바카라™s been the perfect move.바카라

Wilson celebrated his 27th birthday on Friday and is now among the senior players in Rob Page바카라™s squad, having won his 50th cap last October.

바카라œA lot of the boys are still really young,바카라 said Wilson, who is aiming to play at a third major tournament after Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup.

바카라œEthan (Ampadu) is still only 23 and has 50 caps. That shows the experience we바카라™ve got.

바카라œBig Wayne (Hennessey), Ben Davies and Wardy (Danny Ward) have all been to three major tournaments already.

바카라œThey바카라™ve been there and done it so they know what these big games are like. They are always helping the younger boys.바카라
