The goal that determined the score of the match came from Lukaku in the 76th minute. With this result, the national team remained at 0 points, while Belgium's score increased to 6.

The prominent headlines in the European press after the match are as follows:

Marca: "Güler will miss the Italy match with the two yellow cards he received and may return to Madrid earlier. In the midst of the chaos experienced by Türkiye, his star came onto the scene. Arda Güler took responsibility and tried to support his team. The most dangerous positions came from his feet, but he was caught by Lammers many times. The same situation occurred not only in shots but also in crosses. Güler found Bardakçı with his foot, which he used like a 'glove', but the result did not change again: Lammers. Some of the Madrid player's "It was also true that he acted too individually in positions, but he is the only player that makes a difference in Türkiye's hands."

Mundo Deportivo: "De Bruyne made things difficult for Güler's Turkey. Belgium defeated Türkiye 3-0 with two great goals from Kevin De Bruyne and one goal from Romelu Lukaku. With this result, the chance of the Stars and Crescents to maintain their place in the A League was seriously jeopardized."

L'Equipe: "While the performance of 35-year-old Kevin De Bruyne was questioned, the Belgian star responded with two goals against Turkey in Liège this Friday. Belgium will come to the Stade de France on Monday with their self-confidence at its peak. However, Türkiye's technical problems and inability to evaluate its positions should not be ignored. While Arda Güler could not hit the frame with his shot in the 27th minute, Merih Demiral, who was only 3 meters away from the goal, scored in the 43rd minute. "The minute he sent the ball out in a different way was a striking example of the problems experienced by this team, which was eliminated in the group stage of the World Cup and had poor results in the Nations League."

AS: "Güler's never-ending nightmare. Arda Güler is living an endless nightmare in the national team. The bad trend continues from the mediocre World Cup to the start of the Nations League, where there were three defeats in three matches. Moreover, in these three matches, the opponents were Italy, France and finally Belgium, led by a reborn De Bruyne, who scored two goals, and an enthusiastic Lukebakio. Türkiye's result in these matches was to concede 8 goals and score only 1 goal. On Tuesday, Bologna Güler made a great effort to react. He constantly wanted the ball in different parts of the midfield and tried to get involved in the game. He tried risky passes to develop the attacks, but he was not effective in the last part. He even came very close to scoring a great free kick after the 90th minute, but Lammens deflected the ball.

Bild: "Another moment of hitting rock bottom for Turkey and its coach Vincenzo Montella (52). After three Nations League matches, the team including Real Madrid's star Arda Güler remained with 0 points and lost 3-0 to Belgium. Turkey was under great pressure before the match. Turkey, which finished last in the group in the bad World Cup, lost 1-0 to France in the Nations League and then suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat against Italy." "The coach Vincenzo Montella was blamed for this. After five defeats in the last six matches, the pressure on the Italian coach is increasing."

Kicker: "Belgium started to win against Turkey in the 10th minute and maintained this superiority for the rest of the match. After the second half, De Bruyne scored his second goal in a wonderful way, and Lukaku, who entered the game later, eliminated all question marks about the victory. Turkey, which made a lot of rotation, started the match in the worst possible way. In Belgium's first dangerous attack, they fell behind with De Bruyne's shot from outside the penalty area in the 10th minute. This goal was the experienced player's 127th international. It was his 39th goal of the match. After this, Turkey suddenly got involved in the game and reacted especially with the effective performance of Arda Güler. The attacker took two dangerous shots, but he was caught by Lammens shortly after and there was nothing the Belgian goalkeeper could do.

Corriere dello Sport: "Belgium recovered from its defeat against France at the Maurice Dufrasne Stadium in Liège and inflicted its third consecutive defeat on Türkiye under the management of Montella, following the defeats in France and Italy. De Bruyne, who found his form again with the arrival of Van Bommel, played the leading role in the night. The Belgian star, who impressed with his performance at the Olimpico, determined the outcome of the match by scoring one goal in each half this time. This performance earned him a place in Napoli. "It was two messages to Allegri, who was expected to play a more central role. Another name that made a difference in the score was Romelu Lukaku, who ended his goal drought."
