Following Belgium’s elimination from Euro 2024 with a 1-0 loss to France in the round of 16, Belgian star Kevin De Bruyne dismissed a journalist’s inquiry as ‘unreasonable.’
The Red Devils were defeated when Jan Vertonghen scored an own goal late in the match. De Bruyne faced the media in the mixed zone after the game to discuss their departure from the tournament.
During the questioning, the journalist asked, “Is it hard that the ‘Golden Generation’ didn’t achieve a final?”
After a brief pause, De Bruyne replied with a question, “What is the Golden Generation?”
The journalist responded, “Yours.” De Bruyne continued, “Mine? And you’re saying that France, England, Spain, and Germany do not have a Golden Generation? Okay, thank you.”
After responding to the question, the Manchester City player promptly left the mixed zone. As he departed, he was captured on camera referring to the inquiry as a ‘stupid question.’
Belgium’s renowned team has earned the moniker ‘golden generation’ owing to the exceptional talent of its players over the years.
