It was he who took the floor, in Italian, asking for an immediate stop to the match. Roma striker Romelu Lukaku he was also the protagonist of the excited moments of the match Belgium-Sweden in Brussels during which the referees decided to stop the match after the attack in the city. He, together with Vertonghen, accelerated UEFA’s decision, after a few minutes earlier the defender and former United teammate Lindelof had gone into the Belgium locker room saying that neither he nor his teammates felt like continuing to play given what was happening a few meters away from them.

Lukaku makes history: he is in the top 10 of the best scorers of the national teams. From tomorrow off to training in Trigoria
The Belgian national team players immediately proved to be collaborative, understanding and sharing that feeling of fear that had nothing to do with a football match. «We immediately said to ourselves – admitted defender Vertonghen – that we didn’t care about the match or the result and that the other commitments we would have didn’t matter.
There are more important things than football.”
