Verbruggen at Netherlands in 2024-25, Holding the Line in a Quarterfinal

Bart Verbruggen joined Brighton from Anderlecht in July 2023, having been named Anderlecht Player of the Season in 2022-23 and having saved all three penalties in a Europa Conference League shootout against Ludogorets in February of that year. His Netherlands debut came in October 2023, and by UEFA Euro 2024 he was the undisputed first choice, playing every match as the Oranje reached the semi-finals. The Nations League Quarterfinal against Spain on 20 March 2025 was another test of that standing. He faced a Spain side that had won Euro 2024 and came to Amsterdam as one of the strongest international teams in the world. Netherlands led 2-1 with nine minutes to play. Hato's red card changed the shape of the match, and Spain found the equaliser in stoppage time. Verbruggen was on the pitch for all of it. This shirt was worn through that entire arc.
