WHAT HAPPENED?
The Everton midfielder had a disappointing outing at the Deutsche Bank Park where Belgium paid the price for being wasteful in front of goal as Slovakia condemned them to a shock defeat by a 1-0 margin.

Onana was surprised to be called Andre and he immediately corrected the reporter saying: "Andre is not even my name, mate. You know what I mean. Go on…"

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Despite sharing the same surname, Amadou and Andre have distinct backgrounds and career paths. Andre, born in Cameroon, plays for United and the Cameroon national team. In contrast, Amadou was born in Senegal to a Cameroonian father and a Senegalese mother before moving to Brussels at the age of 11. He made his debut for the Belgium senior team in 2022 and has been an important part of their squad since.
