The defender was sent off and admits that his mistake likely caused his team to suffer defeat at Euro 2020
Netherlands star Matthijs de Ligt has assumed responsibility for his side’s 2-0 defeat to the Czech Republic in the last 16 of Euro 2020.
Ten minutes into the second half, De Ligt made a critical slip that resulted in him handling the ball and receiving a red card while the game was still scoreless.
The match had been in the balance at that point, but thereafter the Czechs would dominate and ultimately win 2-0.
