Belgium captain Vincent Kompany says he is proud that his side are about to be ranked at number one in the world.

Belgium captain Vincent Kompany has declared that he is "proud" after his team defeated Israel 3-1 in Euro 2016 qualifying to guarantee their place at the top of the next FIFA world rankings.

Marc Wilmots's side had already reached the finals ahead of their final Group B match, but qualified as group winners thanks to their victory over the Israelis.

"We remain realistic, but also a bit chauvinistic. We are the number one in the world and the Netherlands are out. And to think that I have seen times when we were 80th," he told Sporza

"Seriously, though, that is football. Sometimes you have a dip, but talent will always prevail. It has worked out well here in Belgium and we are ready for what is to come."

Wales claimed the runners-up spot in Group B after seeing off against Andorra.
