De Bruyne: Just Let Me Rest

Belgium captain Kevin De Bruyne addressed questions about whether the current World Cup would be his last. Last night, the "Red Devils" fell 2-1 to Spain in a quarter-final match at the 2026 World Cup. The 35-year-old De Bruyne was substituted in the 86th minute.

"Oh, guys, just let me go on vacation and rest. It's been a tough year. I underwent a serious operation. I'm proud of what I've achieved. I worked very hard. That's all," De Bruyne told reporters.

After the final whistle, the midfielder couldn't hold back tears and was comforted by his wife.

De Bruyne has played for the Belgian national team since 2010. During this period, the midfielder has participated in 124 matches, scoring 38 goals.
