Belgium suffered a severe blow on Friday evening during the quarter-final match against Spain in the 2026 World Cup, after Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois (34 years old) was forced to leave the field due to a severe muscle injury, in what may be his last participation in the World Cup with the Red Devils. Courtois fell on the edge of his penalty area after showing signs of severe pain, before leaving the field crying in a touching scene that reflected the extent of the disappointment that struck the Belgian goalkeeper.
