Feelings were mixed at the club’s on-field party. Surrounded by their supporters, the players lifted the Belgian Cup trophy on a podium with a mix of smiles and grimaces at having passed right by the golden watch. “There is a bit of disappointment,” Alessio Castro-Montes admitted just after the ceremony. “At the end of the match, we really thought that Cercle had scored when the public started shouting in the stands. In my head, I started to believe it even though there were still around ten minutes of play left. Then, the crowd quickly calmed down and I understood that the goal had been canceled. I reviewed the phase quickly but not enough for that. really give my opinion.”

In the end, the Union still finished in second place after having done the job against Genk. A place which gives access to the Champions League play-offs and, in the event of elimination, to the group stage of the Europa League. “I wouldn’t say that the season is completely successful but we can still be proud of what we achieved, especially with the victory in the Cup,” continued Castro-Montes. “We lost the title at the start of the playoffs, that’s too bad. But we take this second place hoping to play in the Champions League next season? For the moment, there is no reason to leave the club even if you never know in football. the desire to continue with this good group and these very good supporters by trying to offer them the Champions League.”
For “ACM”, good news also fell last week: the unionist right flank is part of the preselection of 40 Red Devils for the Euro. “It’s nice to see the names of the players around me in this list,” concluded the 27-year-old Belgian. “But I haven’t had a call from the coach so I don’t think I will be in the final list. But we’ll see, you never know.”
