On the evening of October 10, Beijing time, the UEFA Nations League third place match began: Italy vs Belgium. In the first half, the two teams did not score; in the second half, Barrera scored, Berardi hit a penalty and De Carterell scored. In the end, Italy beat Belgium 2-1.

In the semi-finals: Italy 1-2 Spain, Belgium 2-3 France. In these two games, the most unfortunate thing is undoubtedly Belgium, who was reversed by France's three goals in a row in a good situation of 2-0 leadership. The two teams met in the third place battle, and naturally wanted to draw a relatively "perfect" answer.
In the 25th minute of the first half, Salmales hit the crossbar. In the 45th minute, Chiesa Jr. was saved by Courtois with a single knife.
In the 47th minute of the second half, Barrera scored.
In the 58th minute, Batshuayi's shot hit the crossbar.
In the 65th minute, Chiesa Jr. made a point and Berardi scored at the point.
In the 86th minute, substitute De Bruyne assisted de Carterell's goal.
After that, the two teams attacked and defended each other, but neither scored again. 2-1, Italy beat Belgium to finish third. Italy have won all of the last three major matches between the two teams, the other two being: 2-0 (Euro 2016) and 2-1 (Euro 2021).
Belgium is currently ranked first in the world. They have many stars such as De Bruyne, Hazard, Lukaku and many others. This generation is also known as the golden generation of Belgium. However, we look at their growth trajectory: the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the 2021 European Championship, have not brought people satisfactory answers. Description: The psychological quality of this group of players is still poor. Next year, it will be the Qatar World Cup, and from this point of view, they will not be able to do anything. What's more, Azar is now out of the ordinary.
