Se para o lado da Croácia o empate valeu a classificação às oitavas de final, para a Bélgica, o resultado significa uma precoce eliminação ainda na fase de grupos do Mundial.
A ausência nas oitavas marca um capítulo amargo na geração de ouro da Bélgica, que apresentou resultados importantes dentro de campo, apesar da ausência de um título.
Witsel, Hazard, Mertens, Lukaku, Courtois e De Bruyne se juntaram para colocar a Bélgica em um patamar que a equipe não havia chegado até então.
E esse desempenho se traduz nos números: A atual geração chegou até as quartas de final da Eurocopa em duas ocasiões (2016 e 2020), ficou nas quartas na Copa de 2014 e chegou até a semifinal na Copa de 2018, terminando o torneio em terceiro lugar.
A campanha em 2018 contou, inclusive, com uma vitória nas quartas de final sobre a Seleção Brasileira.
O bom desempenho nos últimos anos acabou não se traduzindo em resultados na Copa do Catar: vitória de 1 a 0 sobre o Canadá, derrota de 2 a 0 para Marrocos e empate de 0 a 0 com a Croácia.
Em 2026, os principais nomes da equipe estarão mais velhos: Lukaku estará com 33 anos, Courtois com 34, e De Bruyne e Hazard com 35.
Ao mesmo tempo a equipe busca se renovar com novos nomes para manter o destaque internacional das última década.
