Romelu Lukaku nets brace for Belgium, screams “Chris, Chris, I love you!”

Belgium forward Romelu Lukaku inspired the Red Devils to a 3-0 win in their Euro 2020 opener against Russia.

Lukaku gave the Red Devils an early lead against Russia and ran to the camera to deliver a message to Inter teammate Christian Eriksen.

The Dane had collapsed in the first half of the other Group B match between Denmark and Finland and Lukaku screamed: “Chris, Chris, I love you!”

Thomas Meunier made it 2-0 after 34 minutes and Lukaku was at it again in the 88th minute of the match, making sure Belgium got a great start to the tournament.

Belgium lead Group B on goal difference over Finland, who eventually beat Denmark 1-0 at Parken Stadium.

The match in Copenhagen resumed after the players had talked to Eriksen, who reassured them he was fine.
