Romelu Lukaku’s mother will have met countless footballers since her son turned professional, but meeting Lionel Messi was clearly a different matter altogether.
After the match at Old Trafford on Wednesday night of the Champions League quarter-final first leg clash between Manchester United and Barcelona, Messi posed for photos with a few people milling around inside Old Trafford, including the mother of Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku.
A video has emerged of Adolphine Lukaku barely able to contain her emotions after Messi posed alongside her, giving the Barcelona icon a hug while saying: “Oh, Messi, Messi!”
