City-Inter, Lukaku betrays the nerazzurri: the mistake weighs

Ataturk remains bewitched, cursed, one of those words you’d rather never hear again. It’s like a screech, also because Lukaku’s mistake in the second half comes in the same goal as Dudek’s super save on Shevchenko in 2005, eighteen years ago. From Milan-Liverpool to City-Inter. A mocking fate for the Rossoneri and Nerazzurri.

The Belgian’s mistake weighs heavily and hurts. Meanwhile the news: minute 89′, Inter forward. Cross from the right, Gosens tower and ball in the air. Lukaku, who came on in the 57th minute after a long hug with Inzaghi on the sideline, pounced on the ball like a hawk and headed the ball, finding Ederson’s answer. More than a miracle by the Brazilian, however, it remains a sill error. A missed goal. All with the door half open. Lukaku despairs, hands on his face and eyes wide. The draw that fades, the City that wins.

But Lukaku had already been a negative protagonist even ten minutes earlier: the Belgian had also “stopped” Dimarco, entering in a negative way on the occasion of the winger (crossbar) immediately after Rodri’s advantage. The Belgian’s mistake recalled those against Croatia at the World Cup, even though on that occasion the Belgian was in far from optimal physical condition. This time he “betrayed” the Nerazzurri after a top season finale, with seven goals in his last eight games. Before the final Romelu had quarreled with Noel Gallagher. The English singer, a historic City fan, spoke thus about the Nerazzurri before the return derby: “I’d rather face Inter, they’re not very good. And Lukaku isn’t playing well.” The Belgian replied in his own way: “Oasis? Who are they? I don’t care what they say”. In the end Pep’s City won. Sheva said he never saw Dudek’s parade again. Now Lukaku can understand it.
