Belgium's striker Romelu Lukaku shared his thoughts after their thrilling 3-2 extra-time victory over Senegal in the Round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup. The "Red Devils" frontman came off the bench to score his team's opening goal.
"Enough with these games already! (laughs.) It was tense, but we gave it our all. We were trailing, but we showed character. That's exactly what you need in matches like these," Lukaku stated.
"This Senegal team is one of the best in the tournament. Technically, physically, and tactically, it was incredibly tough. But once we intensified our press and started fighting for those second balls, our team spirit truly shone through, and we won the game," Lukaku emphasized.
"It's precisely these kinds of victories that help us bond even more as a team," the Belgian added.
