UCL final: They will blame him – Thierry Henry gives verdict on Lukaku’s performance

Thierry Henry

Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry, has expressed his opinion on Romelu Lukaku’s display in Inter Milan’s UEFA Champions League final 1-0 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday.

Lukaku replaced injured Eden Dzeko in the second half during the encounter as Rodri’s brilliant goal ensured Man City defeated Inter Milan at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul to lift the Champions League trophy.

The Belgian partner Lautaro Martinez up front in Inter’s attack line and registered three shots while completing as many passes as possible, missing a crucial chance in the 88th minute of the clash.

Speaking to CBS Sports, Henry claimed that Lukaku would find his errors in the final difficult to live with.

The former France international said, “He’s gonna have to go through exactly what he went through after the FIFA World Cup. Although I think it was a tough one with [Federico] Dimarco, people will still blame him.

“The header in the six-yard box will come back to haunt him. He’s gonna have to live with that. I have won and lost finals… sometimes you are not on the right side.”
