Coming into play in the 63rd minute of the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Benfica (2-0) on Tuesday, Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku (29 years old, 17 games and 3 goals in Serie A this season ) scored his team’s second goal from the penalty spot. A real satisfaction for the Belgian.
“Penalties are just a matter of concentration. I never hear anyone, not even my teammates, before shooting them. I’m happy to have helped my teammates again tonight,” the Red Devil told the media. “We played smart and we had the chance to score even more goals. But 2-0 against such a strong team is definitely a good result.”
The Nerazzurri have indeed taken a good option on a first participation in the C1 semi-finals since 2010.
