Belgian defender Jan Vertonghen announced his retirement from international football on Friday.
Vertonghen, who scored an own goal in the Euro 2016 round of 16 against France (0-1), wrote on his Instagram account: “From start to finish, thanks for all the memories, I lived a dream.”
The former Ajax Amsterdam and Tottenham Hotspur defender hastened Belgium’s elimination last Monday by deflecting Randal Kolo Muani’s shot into his own net five minutes before the end of the match.
