The Spanish paper thought De Bruyne’s performance was terrible on the evening- the former MCFC medio, along with Vanaken and De Ketelaere, wasn’t even deemed worthy of a rating. The only Senegalese player to suffer the same ignominy was goalkeeper Diaw, deputising for Mendy.

This game had plenty of England based players involved- Arsenal’s Trossard, Villa’s Tielemans and Man City’s Doku played for Belgium while Chelsea’s Jackson and West Ham’s Diouf were substitutes for Senegal.
