The football team of Belgium defeated the Czech Republic 3:0 and Estonia 5:2 in the September qualification cycle for the World Cup and is on the threshold of going to Qatar next year.
And both against the Czechs and against the Estonians, striker Romelu Lukaku excelled, scoring three goals in two matches and reaching 68 goals in 100 games for the national team.
It was his goal-scoring performance in the "Devil" jersey that prompted journalists to ask the forward if he could reach Cristiano Ronaldo's record of 111 goals in the national team jersey.
"Never compare me with him. Never. For me, Cristiano is one of the three best players in the history of football. I won't say if he is the first, second or third, but he is among them. What he achieved in football is for all my players generation absolutely incredible. I was lucky enough to compete against him when I was in Italy. Now we will meet in the Premier League and I'm happy about that. And that comparison between me and him and the comparison of statistics really doesn't make any sense," said Lukaku .
Belgium will play its next match in the World Cup qualifiers tomorrow (20.45 p.m.) against Belarus. The team will not include Lukaku, who is suspended due to a card and also has a minor injury.
