He takes his international record to 57 caps and one goal. Belgium suffered a shocking 3-1 upset defeat at the hands of Wales and were knocked out of the tournament in the quarterfinals.
Analysis:
Vermaelen failed to make any impression at Barca last season and struggled finding regular playing time. The 30-year-old defender didn't boast high fantasy upside off the bench finishing the season with one goal, six clean sheets and seven tackles in 10 La Liga appearances (six starts).
