The Belgian midfielder's reaction during the medal presentation, however, has rubbed some fans the wrong way. He was spotted laughing in one instance. One fan commented on X (formerly Twitter):

"KDB shouldn't be overly relied upon next season. He seems satisfied with his trophy haul already. Zero ambition in his game today."

"Cancel the parade."

Another fan made a bold claim, writing:

"They didn't play the match with full intensity."
