1 – 0
In a very cunning way, Red Devil Romelu Lukaku has secured himself an extra week of rest in the run-up to the European Championship. The Roma striker defeated compatriot Koni De Winter in an aerial duel and nodded the 1-0 against the ropes shortly before the whistle. He then took off his shirt: good for his 5th yellow card this season and therefore a suspension.
Within a month we will see a rested Romelu Lukaku at the European Championship.
The Red Devil (deliberately?) received a yellow card on the penultimate matchday of the Serie A, meaning he could miss the final matchday.
A few seconds earlier, the top striker had given his club the lead against Genoa. In a direct header duel with Koni De Winter, Lukaku climbed the highest and scored the 1-0 against the ropes.
During his celebration, he then took off his shirt, which of course resulted in a yellow cardboard being shoved under his nose.
The striker was on the field for another 10 minutes and was relieved by Tammy Abraham in minute 91. His holiday could officially start from that moment. Roma did not relinquish its lead in the closing minutes.
Whether we will ever see Lukaku in a Rome shirt again is highly questionable. The striker’s rental period will soon expire.
