Romelu Lukaku warns Inter are ‘here to win’ the Europa League against Sevilla after flattening Shakhtar Donetsk 5-0 in the semi-final.
The Belgian bagged a brace, as did Lautaro Martinez, while Danilo D’Ambrosio completed the rout.
“The team is doing well. Everybody is trying to do their best, we worked really hard in the little training camp that we had,” Lukaku told BT Sport.
Romelu Lukaku warns Inter are ‘here to win’ the Europa League against Sevilla after flattening Shakhtar Donetsk 5-0 in the semi-final.
The Belgian bagged a brace, as did Lautaro Martinez, while Danilo D’Ambrosio completed the rout.
“The team is doing well. Everybody is trying to do their best, we worked really hard in the little training camp that we had,” Lukaku told BT Sport.
“It was tough, but I think now we see the results of the hard work. Physically and tactically, everybody is at 100 per cent and we can keep going, so that’s a good thing.
“I think we knew they were really good in combinations, so as long as kept the centre of defence close, we wouldn’t have any problems, because our physicality was a bit too much for them.
“In the second half, we showed our power and our patterns of play disrupted them a lot.”
Lukaku is the first man ever to score in 10 consecutive Europa League/UEFA Cup games, but he also has 33 goals in all competition this season since joining Inter.
“I think everything’s going well at the minute, records are nice to be broken, but at the end of the day we’re here to win and the team we are up against are the favourites.”
Inter will be up against Sevilla in Friday’s Final, who beat Lukaku’s old club Manchester United 2-1 in the other semi-final.
“United tried their hardest, they had a really good season, Ole (Gunnar Solskjaer) did a good job and the players did really well. (Mason) Greenwood, (Anthony) Martial and (Marcus) Rashford coming through, I expected all of that. I am happy for them and they look really good for next season, I have no doubt.”
