Premier Belgium gives May shirt Red Devils

The Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel has given his British colleague Theresa May a shirt of 'his' national football team, nicknamed the Red Devils.

Because both teams have already qualified for the next round, there seemed to be little tension between the 'competing' EU leaders.

Prime Minister Mark Rutte and the Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel joined their Belgian counterpart and co-liberal. The Benelux Prime Ministers each hung a supporters scarf and jointly took pictures. Michel put it on Twitter with the text 'The Netherlands and Luxembourg will soon support our devils!'

The competition starts at eight o'clock, shortly after the 28 leaders have started their work dinner on migration.
