The highest-ranked team in the world, Belgium are arguably the in-form nation entering EURO 2020.
After a perfect qualifying campaign featuring 40 goals — including nine in one match against San Marino — manager Roberto Martínez is hoping to finally guide Belgium to glory.
The country’s so-called “golden generation” of players have been together for a number of years now, but were defeated in 2016 by Wales at the quarter-final stage and lost to eventual winners France in the 2018 World Cup semi-finals.
With forward players like Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku and Michy Batshuayi, Belgium are one of the favourites at this summer’s tournament.
