Belgian national team star Romelu Lukaku shared his views on comparing his performance to the best strikers worldwide. In a press conference, Lukaku discussed Cristiano Ronaldo's role in motivating him to perform better in Serie A, stating, "Winning the Serie A is exceptional, but I don't think Ronaldo's presence motivated me."
He added, "I would like to have Ronaldo's dribbling style and the way he strikes the ball, while it would be nice for him to have my strength." Lukaku continued, "People always talk about Harry Kane, Robert Lewandowski, and Karim Benzema, saying they are world-class strikers, while they describe my performance as good."
Lukaku emphasized, "In the past two years, I have shown everyone that my performance is not just good but that I am at the level of the best strikers in the world." He stated that his dream is to win the European Championship with the Belgian national team, describing it as the pinnacle of achievements for any player.
Should Lukaku lead Belgium to win Euro 2020, he would be a strong contender for the Ballon d'Or, a title he referred to by saying, "It's a wonderful goal for any player, and it's my childhood dream."
