Belgium had just lost late on to France in the Round of 16 at Euro 2024 when Kevin De Bruyne was asked by a journalist whether it hurt that Belgian’s ‘golden generation’ had never reached a major final.

De Bruyne appeared annoyed at the concept only being applied to Belgium, and highlighted other countries, before he was heard to mutter the word ‘stupid’ as he left the media zone.

England should learn from this. Its not golden if you havent won anything and until you win, you cant claim to be golden….

what a pointless clip
Really? Theate? Faes? Onana? Lukaku? Castagne?
Is that really 'Golden Generation' ?
Strange
😂😂😂😂
England no, Spain was 2008-2013
Blud is mad after finally reaching RO16 only to get knocked out lol
LET ME TALK
LET ME TALK
LET ME TALK
The golden Generations of the countries he is talking about reached finals, thats the point…
De Bruyne never won anything fair . all his city medals where cheated
let him talk!
KDB spitting facts
When you have Lukaku up front who has the touch of a bus, don't expect to win.
De Bruyne is nearing the end of his career & Lakaku is a hit & a miss on the world stage! So expect to get knocked out!
😂😂😂
He doesn't need to give an account to an image that you guys painted.. Was it the players that addressed themselves as the golden generation or you guys?? So even if they have failed to win anything with all these gifted players, it wasn't their responsibility to fulfill your goals or expectations.. And this is what I hate with people like you guys, who place their expectations or dreams upon others, as if it's their responsibility.. If you wanted to win trophies, why didn't you go and pursue it on your own?? In addition to that, it wouldn't be the fault of the players, they just couldn't find the right manager.. But like I said, they shouldn't have to give an account for an image that they didn't create for themselves..
It’s a called a golden generation because Belgium doesn’t regenerate top talents like the other countries he mentioned. Once their golden generation is gone, Belgium will slowly become an average football nation again.
i am arsenal, but he is smart🙃🙃🙃
They have the great Lakaka what else do they expect
Golden what? These losers couldn't even get out the wc group stage 😂😂😂😂
I feel that people are overusing words with great meanings describing mediocre things in today's world.
"golden", "legendary", "Godly"…etc
people use these words to describe above average things. it is not just in football, everything is being labeled "greatest" easily these days, those words are slowly losing it's meaning.
Emotional Lesbian.
Belgium's golden generation was six years ago …the current lot is average
De Bruyne did not want to talk.
What golden ?? They never won anything😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
