The Belgian striker scored four goals in just 36 minutes, leading his team
With 14 goals he is the player with the most goals in a qualifying phase for the Euro Cup
Romelu Lukaku 2023 is finished showing its best version. The Belgian striker scored four goals in just over half an hour of play in the victory of his team 5-0 against Azerbaijan. The poker came in the first half, one after the other and taking advantage of the fact that the visiting team was left with one less player.
The Roma striker, who seems to have found his place in the capital of the Italian country with the help of José Mourinho, has once again found that sense of goal that characterized him so much from his beginnings and elevated his figure to what he is today, one of the best attackers on the continent.
Tedesco, Belgium coach, understood that with the match resolved, the ‘MVP’ did not need to continue playing, partly to avoid injuries, and was replaced by Openda. These four goals bring the number up to fourteen, making Lukaku the player with most goals in the entire history of a qualifying phase for the Euro Cup. Just Cristiano Ronaldo and the legend, Ferenc Puskas They are the only European internationals to have scored more goals in the recent history of football.
With Belgium already qualified for Euro 2024, Lukaku now focuses on Roma and that next match he has this Sunday the 26th against Udinese at the Olympic Stadium, an opportunity to establish ‘La Loba’ in European positions.
