The UEFA Euro 2024 group stage is coming to an end and nothing is defined in Group E, as all the group’s members have 3 points. Everything will be defined on the last matchday.

Belgium came into this European Championship as one of the favorites to win it, but after the surprising defeat in their debut against Slovakia, things changed.

The Red Devils had to win the second match to keep their chances of qualifying and that’s what they did, they defeated Romania 2-0 and now they keep their chances alive in the last matchday.
