A 3-1 win over Marc Wilmots's side took them further than they'd ever been in tournament football before.
But almost as soon as the celebrations in Lille started, talk quickly moved to what is undoubtedly the biggest clash of heavyweights since the son of Krypton took on Bruce Wayne in a fight to the death.
Real Madrid teammates Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo are set to go head-to-head in Lyon next Wednesday.
And as though Batman vs Superman are preparing to clash, fans everywhere are salivating at the thought of CR7 and Bale going head-to-head.
