The Belgian national team has already finished their performance at the European Championship. The first-ranked team in the world rankings, "Euro 2020", lost 1:2 to Italy in the quarterfinals and will have to postpone their hopes of fighting for major trophies for the future. Not even the sacrifice demonstrated by one of the team's leaders Kevin De Bruyne helped Belgium. After the match, it was revealed that the winger played against Portugal despite having an injury and a torn calf muscle. "I thank the medical staff who did an incredible job so that I could appear on the field last night despite the torn calf muscle," K. De Bruyne said after the match.
