Lukaku was the best star in Belgium's win over Scotland in the early morning of June 12. The M.U striker scored 2 goals to bring victory to his team (Kevin De Bruyne scored the other goal for the Red Devils).
With a double against Scotland, Lukaku increased the total number of goals scored for the DTQG to 48. The 26-year-old striker is the top scorer of the Belgian national team.
It is worth mentioning that Lukaku's scoring number could have been higher if the M.U player had not shown bad luck in many situations. In particular, Lukaku made the audience laugh because a humorous ball handling was even called "silly" by fans.
Specifically, in the situation of receiving the ball from Kevin De Bruyne's pass in front of the scotch, Lukaku shot with his right foot but the ball hit the striker's left foot, saving the opponent from a very dangerous situation.
After this move, many fans petitioned the striker born in 1993 on social media:
" Lukaku just blocked his own shot. Am I looking at it wrong? Union member Daniel Harris mocked.
"The technique is at world-class level that no player can do," said fan Juan Selat, mocking Lukaku.
"It's a pity for Hazard and De Bruyne to support a defender to score," Village fans commented.
Talking about his student, Belgium coach Roberto Martinez, said that Romelu Lukaku had a good performance. But at the same time, the Spanish coach still wants his players to show more stable performance.
I appreciate the fans who have shown their love for the DTQG and especially Lukaku, Martinez told reporters. He is a guy who has been very successful in the past 3 seasons. He creates chances and scores a lot.
I see him as a very disciplined player and in this international competition, he has shown a lot of desire. Sometimes, I was disappointed when Lukaku couldn't take full advantage of my advantage on the pitch.
According to Opta statistics, Lukaku is the best striker to score for the national team in Europe in the past 2 years. He scored 25 goals in 23 appearances, an achievement that no striker can achieve.
At M.U in 2018-2019, Lukaku clearly declined and also often had errors and very silly ball handling. Due to his poor form, the Belgian striker has lost his position to young teammate Rashford. Lukaku is not expected to be in M.U's plans and will leave Old Trafford this summer. Inter Milan are currently negotiating to sign former Chelsea and Everton strikers.
The victory over Scotland helped Belgium solidify their top spot in Group I of the Euro 2020 qualifiers with 12 points after 4 matches, 3 points ahead of the Russian Open.
