“When they talk about [Robert] Lewandowski, [Karim] Benzema, [Luis] Suarez, [Harry] Kane, they would say it’s world class level and with me it is always about being in good form.

“In the last two years I think I have shown it’s not just good form.

“I belong with that group, I am at that level.”

Lukaku is amongst a host of players that have scored three goals at the ongoing Euro 2020.

He is currently the tournament’s joint second-top scorer along with Robert Lewandowski.
