FIFA number 1 team Belgium's so-called golden generation has fallen short of another trophy again after losing the semifinal of the UEFA Nations League to their neighbours France 3-2 and will now settle for a third place match against European champions Italy.
Italy won the Euro2020 defeating England in the finals via penalties and their hope of winning another tournament in 2021 was dashed after losing 2-1 to Italy in the semifinal of the UEFA Nations League, and as such will face Belgium for the third place match.
The last time the two teams met in a major tournament was a recent meeting in the UEFA Championship. Italy ran out 2-1 winners to eliminate Belgium in the quarter final yet again ending the golden generations dream of silverware.
The two teams have met 23 times with Italy being the highest winner with 15 wins and four games ending in a draw. Belgium have record just four wins against the European champions and will need 11 more wins, including the match on Sunday to match Italy's 15 wins.
