Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne has played down the talent available to Belgium.

Belgium finished fourth in the Nations League after defeats to France and Italy.

De Bruyne remarked: "It is a good experience for them to meet teams of this calibre, but unfortunately we lost twice. With all due respect, it is not the same as playing against Estonia, and these challenges are necessary for us to grow both as a team and as individuals.

"With all due respect, we are 'only' Belgium. We are a new generation and today we lacked top players like Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku. We have to be realistic with the team we have. Italy and France have 22 top players, we do not have that."
