[Saba Sports News] Belgium suffered a 0-1 defeat to France and got eliminated from Euro 2024. Following the game, Kevin de Bruyne had an altercation with Italian journalist Tancredi Palmeri, who later criticized De Bruyne on social media. The reporter shared media reports on the incident and wrote: “Haha, De Bruyne just called me a fool. I asked him if he felt frustrated that the Belgian golden generation came up short once again? And what did De Bruyne ask me? ‘Is it only the golden generation?’ I replied, ‘It’s your golden generation.’ Do you mean there’s no golden generation in France, England, Spain, and Germany? You fool, let me give you a tip: they do have golden generations in France, England, Germany, and Spain. They have all reached the finals. Players just want to hear reporters praising how good they are. They are really spoiled little brats.” Tancredi Palmeri also bluntly stated that he was not even aware of it until media outlets around the world reported De Bruyne scolding reporters. In a video from a different angle, De Bruyne can be seen whispering “Idiot.” Indeed, having money doesn’t guarantee true wealth.
