Belgium international Romelu Lukaku is closing in on an Inter Milan record in European competition held by Cameroon great Samuel Eto’o.
The striker was on target in the Italians’ 2-1 defeat of Bayer Leverkusen in Monday’s Europa League quarter-final fixture.
With Nicolo Barella giving Antonio Conte’s men a 15th minute lead at Merkur Spielarena in Dusseldorf, Lukaku added the second six minutes later to send his team into the last-four of the competition.
Thanks to this, the Belgian star has now been directly involved in nine goals in European tournament for the San Siro giants this season – with six goals and three assists – excluding qualifiers.
