Netherlands defender Matthijs de Ligt said he felt he was the player to blame for his team’s Euro Last-16 exit after being sent off in Sunday’s 0-2 loss to the Czech Republic. 

The Juventus centre-back was dismissed 10 minutes into the second half in Budapest for a deliberate handball after he was forced into an error by Czech striker Patrik Schick.
