FELL FOLLOW THE ACTION LIVE AT DE BRUYNE TO PUT BRAKES ON KYLIAN

rooms with them so it is the perfect game for us to stay focused.”

A key battle will be Eden Hazard up against Stamford Bridge pal N’golo Kante – but Martinez isn’t putting any pressure on his Chelsea star. “We allow our individuals to make the difference but it’s a shared effort,” he said. “Everyone has contributed. That’s why I wanted to be part of this generation. It’s unique, very technical, with an incredible football brain.”

Belgium were beaten by Wales in the quarter-finals of Euro 2016 but Martinez knows how much they have improved since then.

“They have made a commitment to each other to be a high-performance squad and we’ve spent two years coming together with a shared ambition,” he said.

“They just want to make Belgian football proud and I think they have already done that.” KEVIN DE BRUYNE has revealed he did not have a clue who Kylian Mbappe was last year.

But the Manchester City and Belgium midfielder has admitted the Paris Saint-germain teenager (below right) is now a world star who will be at the top for 15 years. De Bruyne (below left) said: “He’s become a star in France, but when I was playing against him for City against Monaco he’d only played 10 matches.

“To tell the truth I didn’t know him. Now he’s playing for a great French team and in the Champions League. He’s a different player now, and he will be a star for the next 15 years.

“He’s had a fantastic year and he can even improve, if that’s possible, so yes he will be a danger to us but we are going to try to stop him from playing tomorrow.”

Lock picker De Bruyne also acknowledged the role of City manager Pep Guardiola in turning him into a top star.

“He helped me as an individual. His is a totally different style of play and you need time as a team to adapt to it. Once you get it, though it makes the football easier.

“There are things we do that are the same with Belgium.

“We like to play on the ground and we have power.”
