Because the draw for the composition of the semi-finals has already taken place in the previous rounds, we know that we will soon have a Milan derby and a re-edition of Manchester City-Real Madrid.
A maximum of 4 Belgians can take action in that Milan derby. Romelu Lukaku at Inter and Alexis Saelemaekers, Divock Origi and Charles De Ketelaere at Milan. Aster Vranckx is not on the European list at Milan.
Honesty compels us to mention that all Belgians have mainly been bench seaters or substitutes since the final phase.
That is different in the clash between Manchester City and Real Madrid, where we see two key figures in each of the two teams with Kevin De Bruyne and Thibaut Courtois. Eden Hazard completes the Belgian eight in the semi-finals, but he also has a cameo at most.
It is only the first time that at least one Belgian is walking around with every semi-finalist of the Champions League. It also ensures that we are guaranteed to get at least 2 Belgians in the final and therefore one (or more) Belgian winner(s) anyway.
