Kevin De Bruyne was seen signaling team-mates to leave the pitch as quickly as possible as Belgium fans made their point clear after the 0-0 draw with Ukraine.
With the point gained, Belgium qualified for the round of 16, but finished second in Group E. Belgium's performances so far, however, are far from what fans of this representative hoped for.
🚨🚨| De Bruyne told the players to get off the pitch. He tried to applaud their own fans, but the boos were so loud that he told the rest to forget it. 😳🇧🇪

There was a lot of booing from the Belgian fans after the match ended. The players, however, started to applaud the fans, but the whistles themselves have increased. So captain De Bruyne told his teammates to head to the locker room.
Belgium will face France in the round of 16.
