Belgium are on a once-in-a-lifetime journey that they plan on extending, according to Kevin De Bruyne. The Manchester City man scored a stunning goal as the Red Devils beat tournament favourites Brazil 2-1 to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup.

A Tuesday date with France now stands between them and a first ever final, the current squad having matched the exploits of their 1986 countrymen. This particular group of Belgian players have long been talked up and De Bruyne has his eyes set on making the most of this opportunity. "We have achieved something that is really beautiful and not easy," he said.
