The press still kneels in front of Big Rom: “Lukaku, it’s Conte’s gold!”

The matches follow and are similar for Lukaku. Yesterday, the Red Devil once again flaunted his talent. With an assist and two goals, just like his friend Lautaro Martinez, he was one of the great architects of the slap inflicted on Shakhtar by Inter Milan. Obviously, in the press we panic for the duo of attackers.

The Gazzetta dello Sport is full of praise for the Belgian. “The Nerazzurri in the final of the Europa League and Romelu star of the match, break all records: the former Manchester United scored in 10 consecutive matches in the Europa League. No other has achieved this feat and his pursuer is at 8 in the person of Alan Shearer. “ This isn’t the only record Big Rom ‘can break if he scores. In case of a goal on August 21, he could join a certain … Ronaldo! “The second goal is getting closer and closer: 33 goals with Inter’s shirt from Ronaldo, Il Fenomeno. In 1997/98 he reached the 34 goal mark by winning the UEFA Cup final. C ‘was in his first season with the Nerazzurri. Also watch out for coincidences: Ronaldo signed this 34th by scoring in the UEFA Cup final, winning it against Lazio. Touch the iron, touch the wood, touch everything. That’s it. Conte’s gold! “

The Italian newspaper also highlights the effectiveness of the duo. “LuLa (nickname for LUkaku and LAutaro) total: the night that brought Romelu and Taurus to the Olympus of the super couples of Europe” begins the Italian gazette. “Do you remember Mauro Icardi? The one who took the copyright for Inter’s goals. There didn’t seem to be life after him? Less than 12 months after his farewell: one wonders if there really is so much better around than Lukaku-Lautaro. All over the world, not just Italy. “

In terms of numbers, they scored 54 goals together. If we are very far from the Lewandowski-Gnabry duo (75), they are tied with three others: Ronaldo-Dybala (Juventus), Vinicius-Pizzi (Benfica) and Sterling-Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City). We could also have counted the Haaland-Daka duo but the first city left Salzburg for Dortmund in January.

Tuttosport also mentioned the XXL performance of the Belgian against the Ukrainians. In its pages, the transalpine newspaper gives it a score of 8/10: “He catches up and turns every ball into gold. He finds peace when he scores a sparkling brace, his tenth consecutive Europa League game to score.”

In England, one wonders if Lukaku is the same player who played for Manchester United. Present on the set of BT Sport, Paul Ince and Owen Hargreaves, two former legends of the Red Devils, discussed the phenomenon: “First of all, let’s be fair, Lukaku didn’t have a problem, he scored his goals at United” begins Paul Ince. “Let’s try to understand each other. He was not happy with Mourinho. Sometimes you find the right person, the right country. If you are happy, you can express yourself better. Against Shakhtar Donetsk yesterday he looked fit and lean. Speaking of when he was at Manchester United, it looked like he couldn’t even walk around the park. I was also in better shape at Inter, both for the weather and the food. He really looks like a different animal. Now Lukaku is able to quickly overtake everyone. Before, he wouldn’t have succeeded. ” The former midfielder Owen Hargreaves has been in the direction of the former England international. “I think he felt a lot of pressure on him at United. He felt he had to prove his level all the time. He almost played like he carried that burden.”

After the meeting, for Sky, the striker did not show a grudge against his former club. “If I’m sorry for United? They did everything to make it to the final, they are back after a great season. Solskjaer is good, Martial and Rashford are too. Greenwood is a promising young player. I hope that ‘ they can play another great season next year. “

In France too, we marvel at the prowess of the center forward. Even Daniel Riolo, who has often criticized issue nine, changed his mind on the show theAfter Foot sure RMC. “I want to make a declaration of love to Lukaku. He’s a player that I didn’t like. Those who listen to me know how hard I was on this guy. This player, to now I love him. I love what he does on the pitch and his dedication to the team. Technically, I hadn’t noticed him before, but he’s a lot smarter than you might think. I thought he was betting too much on his physical mass. Thanks to Conte, he is put into a tactical scheme that is tailored for him. I love Lukaku, he is extraordinary, really! ” A true declaration of love which should please the person concerned.

On Eurosport France too, we applaud the performance of the striker with both hands. “Author of a magnificent season with the Nerazzurri, the former Manchester United stood out again with a brace, definitively offering the final to his family. The last goal, the former Everton, however, went Look for him like a grown-up, leaving Khocholova company before placing the ball between the legs of the unfortunate Pyatov (84th, 5-0). ”

After the victory of his family, Romelu Lukaku did not want to dwell on his personal fate. “Here we are in the final! It was one of our objectives at the end of the season. We wasted a lot of points in the Championship but now we are in the final, so we are happy. This is the first experience for the majority of the players in our team. We knew that we were going to have a lot of space on the must side, we knew how to take advantage of it. It shows that we are quite efficient in front of goal. I am a striker, I am here for that (to mark), it’s something that’s in me. The second goal, I really went for it on my own. It was envy. We had a really good game, I’m very happy for the team “, he told RMC Sport microphones.

To overtake Ronaldo and become the second best duo in Europe, Romelu knows what remains for him to do: score again and again to lift the Europa Cup like Eden Hazard last year.
