A small disagreement occurred in the Netherlands national team.

The Marseille midfielder Quinten Timber wished to briefly travel to Budapest during the Netherlands national team's camp, where he could support his twin brother Jurriën Timber in the Champions League final.

Quinten Timber requested a favor from his coach Ronald Koeman, who ultimately did not agree to let this important team player go.

Ronald Koeman commented on this situation: "Of course, you always want to be in a situation like your brother's... he completely understood why I said no."

Jurriën Timber and Arsenal were defeated by PSG only after a penalty shootout.
