Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens reached a new milestone on Tuesday night by making his debut for the Belgium national team.
With Real Madrid stopper Thibaut Courtois ruled out with injury, Lammens was called into the starting line-up as Belgium beat Liechtenstein 7-0 to secure their place at the 2026 World Cup.

Lammens recently became United’s first-choice goalkeeper, keeping a clean sheet in his first appearance with the Red Devils, recording a 2-0 victory over Sunderland.
Now, in his first appearance for Belgium, Lammens has kept another clean sheet – and it stands him in good stead to earn a spot in Rudi Garcia’s World Cup squad next summer.

It was a night to remember for Lammens.
Liechtenstein went into the game after failing to score in any of their previous qualifiers, and they were unable to find a way past Lammens despite having one shot on target.

Although it was a memorable night for Lammens as he made his Belgium debut, the 23-year-old knows that bigger challenges await when he next represents United and his country.
