Romelu Lukaku could be the top scorer of Euro 2024 this Saturday evening, but the Belgian striker is still empty-handed. VAR disallowed three of his goals, and once again in a microscopic way.
Two goals refused against Slovakia following the intervention of the video assistance, Romelu Lukaku could already blame the VAR during this Euro, especially since Belgium had lost. But this Saturday evening, the striker again saw one of his achievements canceled due to a very limited offside. In other words, in the ranking of the best virtual scorers, Romelu Lukaku is the top scorer of this Euro 2024 with 3 goals refused, even if there is nothing to complain about, since the referees scrupulously followed what the video determined in the moment to judge the position of the Red Devils player.
In Belgium, the media are already talking about a curse that has pursued Lukaku since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. To see if the striker, still under contract with Chelsea, will finally unlock his counter during the Belgians’ next match, it will be next Wednesday against Ukraine or if the VAR will fall on him again. Fortunately, against Romania, the other Belgian players secured a valuable victory (2-0) in the race for the round of 16.
