They’re two nations with great ambitions, but only the Netherlands have won a UEFA European Championship trophy, while Belgium have reached one final.
The Netherlands secured the European Championship title in 1988 with an impressive 2-0 victory over the Soviet Union in the final. The match is best remembered for Marco van Basten's spectacular volley. The goal today remains one of the most iconic moments in the history of the tournament.
In the years that followed, the Dutch national team consistently reached the knockout stages in this tournament, but are yet to make another appearance in the final.
Despite their riches of talent, Belgium is a nation that is still yet to win their first major international tournament. Their best performance came at Euro 1980, when they reached the European Championship final in Italy. The Belgians were beaten 2-1 by Germany after conceding a heart-breaking 88th minute winner.
