Romelu Lukaku produced a touching moment as he dedicated his opening goal of Euro 2020 to his Inter teammate, Christian Eriksen.
The Belgian forward put his team 1-0 up against Russia in the first Group B fixture. The game was played in St Petersburg.
Romelu Lukaku then ran to the camera and shouted “Chris, Chris, I love you”, as a gesture of goodwill to the Denmark midfielder who collapsed on the pitch in an earlier game. He is now in stable condition.
"Chris, Chris… I love you!" ❤️
