Belgium captain Eden Hazard announced his retirement from international football after his team's group-stage exit at the World Cup.
The 31-year-old forward played in all three Group F games but did not score as Belgium beat Canada, lost to Morocco and played out a goalless draw with Croatia to finish third.
Hazard made his international debut in 2008 and scored 33 times in 126 appearances.
He helped Belgium reach the 2018 World Cup semi-finals, where they lost to eventual champions France, and beat England in the third-placed playoff.
"I have decided to put an end to my international career. The succession is ready," Hazard wrote on Instagram.
"A page turns today... Thank you for your love. Thank you for your unparalleled support. Thank you for all this happiness shared since 2008... I will miss you."
