FIFA WC: 'The Stars Weren't Aligned For Us,' Says Garcia After Belgium Loss To Spain
FIFA World Cup: Belgium head coach Rudi Garcia rued his side’s misfortune after their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign ended with a heartbreaking 1-2 quarterfinal defeat to Spain, saying 'the stars weren’t aligned' for them on a night when they lost their goalkeeper and captain in the middle of the match due to injuries.
Belgium were closing in on extra time before substitute Mikel Merino struck in the 88th minute to send Spain into their first World Cup semifinal since 2010.
“Unfortunately, the stars weren’t aligned for us this evening. We lost our goalkeeper. We lost our captain. We had to change a sub out given to De Bruyne, and that wasn’t part of the game plan at the end of the game,” Garcia said after the defeat as quoted by ESPN.
