Lukaku is a choke merchant. He should never play football ever again
Opponents are preying for Lukaku to come on, he guarantees they'll win one way or another
LOLkaku
😂😂…when all else fails
.blame the black guy
Lukaku was like a road roller. He is too big to be flexible or have good reflex.
Lakaka has become my favourite football comedian after the finals! It’s one thing if his miss and getting in the way of the ball was an one off situation, but he has been doing this consistently for years-Belgium, Inter, etc🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I was rooting for extra time, yet every time I think back about the game…. I think of him, and I can’t help but smile. How there’s a polar opposite to Sergio Ramos in terms of crunch time performances😅
How can Gab say that Dimarco's chance wasn't that clear? If Lukaku hadn't stood there like a stone statue it would have gone in for the equalizer.
Wait what???? Lukaku played 35mins and turned inter into a much more threatening team and as for the header how can you call that a miss it was a great save from Ederson.
Lukaku has had a decent career one that most strikers would be proud of.
Like Lukaku, but he has a habit of missing great chances in big games.
Lukaku was their only chance during that game. He had 2-3 chances
My days!!! What a title "harder to miss….", said by to guys who probably never played a professional football match in their lives. I would like to see their first touch on the ball…. I feel this discussion is like me talking with my mates about situations "you are not allowed to miss" when I never played a professional match, so I was never in Lukaku's shoes….
That was a header. Harder to control than with the foot.
Wow trying to make a scapegoat out of the guy Shame on you
Y'all forget the world cup misses too
Did similar in the WC v Croatia. Clearly USELESS at this level. I won't quote Big Ron but half of what he said holds.
Lukaku has been offered to Saudi , Lukaku not keen on move he wants to play for Inter and get Chelsea to pay . He is a cancer . He is a poor excuse for a human being
he headed strongly downwards on target unfortunately keeper was well positioned. He didn't miss just unlucky
That's what he gets for disrespecting Chelsea
Lukaku has single-handedly won numerous games for almost every team he's played for in the past. He is undeniably one of the greatest players in the world, and it's a mistake that he wasn't included in the starting lineup instead of being benched. Dzeko is a fantastic player, but when considering overall statistics, he should have been on the field. Starting the game would have given him a confidence boost, and this failure falls on Inzaghi's shoulders. Additionally, why is nobody discussing Dimarco's header that hit the crossbar in the first place? That should have been a goal, and as a professional, he shouldn't have missed such an opportunity. Blame should also be placed on him. Ultimately, it's just a game, and players shouldn't be treated this way. Even at his age, Lukaku will continue to achieve great things and bounce back from this low point in his career. While he definitely should have scored, these things happen, and he should be able to enjoy playing again. He has too much to prove, and that needs to change. It's a vicious cycle, and he needs to find someone who can help break it, take some time to rest, and find joy. The world can be harsh for emotional family men like him. In the end, I believe he will achieve great success and be regarded as one of the all-time greats, just like Benzema, who started accomplishing incredible things even after people thought he had passed his prime.
Nerves can play a huge part in these key moments.Feel for Lukaku.
Compare that Lukaku header with 2 much more difficult chances that bernardo silva put away against bayern and then madrid. I feel Lukaku stopped working hard a long time ago, he does it at intervals now and more out of desperation than with a cool head.
He is cursed man
He cursed belgium and now inter😂
These kind of player ia called normal player😂
If you miss easy chance against worst city goalkeeper then you are just normal player
He saved opponents goalkeeper whats wrong in it😂
Dont blame lukaku blame his fitness that he cant move aside😂
Thinking Inter will reach another UCL final with him as player is very optimistic.
When Lukaku came in he was the more likely striker to score a goal in a match containing players like Lautaro, Haaland, Dzeko, De Bruyne and many other Man City players. Yet he's the one to get more hate because he missed chances. I feel like if Inter scored the goal Man City would surely lose because Inter would have Lukaku and Man City would've had under performing Haaland. The hate towards Lukaku is the reason he won't ever play again in the PL.
