Belgium were knocked out of the World Cup in Qatar just after the group stage.

The Red Devils and their golden generation were unable to make it to the World Cup round of sixteen, and Thibaut Courtois has admitted that they weren’t good enough.

Courtois said: “In this World Cup and in the Euro we were not ourselves, it is a bit embarrassing. We will see what will happen, who will stay, who will not stay.

“Football, it’s going fast. In March there are already qualifying matches for the Euros.

“It’s hard to call yourself a ‘Golden Generation’ when you don’t win anything.

“We are not a golden generation, we are a generation with a lot of talent and great players from all over Europe.

“We showed in Russia 2018 that we were a Belgium that played good football.”

Courtois also confirmed that he isn’t leaving the international scene soon, and that he’d seek to be part of Belgium’s 2026 World Cup squad.

Courtois added: “Yes, that is my goal. We still have a good generation and there are players who will join.

“I hope that when I stop playing with the Red Devils it will be at a good time, not now.”
