November 15, 2011: France-Belgium 0-0
The Red Devils, with Georges Leekens as T1, measured themselves against their French neighbours for a major challenge, although the latter were coming out of a chaotic World Cup in South Africa.

August 14, 2013: Belgium-France 0-0

June 7, 2015: France-Belgium 3-4
Still on the rise, the Wilmots gang offered themselves a new derby at the end of the 2014-2015 season and before Euro 2016 which was taking place in France. And the mission had proven to be more than a success with a prestigious and resounding victory. In front of an impressive contingent of Belgian supporters who made the trip, Belgium humiliated France for more than an hour with goals from Fellaini (x2), Nainggolan and Hazard. If Valbuena had already reduced the gap to 0-2, Fekir and Payet had also allowed France to reduce the size of the score in the opposite camp.

July 10, 2018: France-Belgium 1-0
Without a doubt the match that everyone still remembers. As part of the semi-final of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the two nations met to play for a place in the final. Roberto Martinez also chose to play Dembélé to compensate for Meunier’s suspension. A choice that did not pay off since a certain Umtiti, on a corner, scored the only goal of a balanced match and above all extinguished Belgian hopes of victory. A significant match that notably had the gift of accentuating the rivalry between the two countries.

A once again painful defeat that more than 11 million Belgians hope to never experience again this Monday at 8 p.m.
