Close-up of Lukaku twice leaving Inter Milan fans speechless

Romelu Lukaku once again made the audience remember with a forgettable performance, both bad and unlucky. The Belgian striker appeared in Inter Milan's best chances in the final of the C1 Cup - Champions League but only brought regret.

Man City 1-0 Inter Milan.

In the 57th minute of the match between Man City and Inter Milan, Lukaku was brought on to replace the injured Edin Dzeko. The Belgian striker carried many hopes from coach Simone Inzaghi. However, Lukaku once again showed his strange "lack of luck" in big matches.

Close-up of Lukaku twice leaving Inter Milan fans speechless - 1 — Lukaku accidentally blocked Dimarco's header.

Immediately after Man City opened the scoring, Inter Milan had a great chance to equalize when Federico Dimarco headed the ball against the crossbar. The ball bounced right to the defender in front of an open goal for him to take the next shot. However, Dimarco's shot was blocked by his teammate Lukaku.

This is a typical situation of Lukaku's "bad luck" when he accidentally stood in positions that put his team at a disadvantage. In the 2020 Europa League final, Lukaku just stood still during the opponent's corner kick, but the ball hit the striker, making him the culprit of an own goal.

A few months later, Lukaku was in the right position to... block a header from teammate Alexis Sanchez right in front of an open goal. This was one of the key moves that led to Inter Milan's elimination.

In the Champions League final last night, Lukaku had another situation that made Inter Milan fans regret. From a cross from Robin Gosens, Lukaku was in a favorable position only about 4 meters from the Man City goal. The striker's header had good force, but the ball hit the knee of the Man City goalkeeper who was standing rooted to the goal line.

In the nearly 40 minutes on the field, Romelu Lukaku did not leave much of an impression in terms of expertise. He received a yellow card for a dangerous foul from behind on an opposing player. Lukaku had another good walling move but his teammates could not take advantage of it. In addition, the Belgian player only left disappointment when he was slow and heavy on the field.

In the end, Inter Milan accepted defeat with a score of 0-1 against Man City. They had good enough chances to score but could not take advantage of any of them.
