You would imagine being the
mother of a Premier League star would make you get used to superstardom.
However it appears that even
Romelu Lukaku’s mum can become a fan girl when confronted by Lionel Messi.
A video has emerged of Adolphine
Lukaku barely able to contain her excitement at meeting the Barcelona forward
at Old Trafford this week
Messi was part of the Barca side
that earned a 1-0 away win over Manchester United in the first leg of their
Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday night.
Adolphine giggled like a little
girl as she posed for a picture with the Argentine and then they shared a warm
embrace.
She muttered ‘Messi, Messi,
Messi’ while shaking her head in disbelief as they hugged it out. Apparently
being the mother of a player in the opponents camp has nothing to do with, she
just got to be herself!
The 31-year-old was below par and
was left nursing a nose bleed and a bloody eye after taking an elbow in the
face from Chris Smalling.
Despite not having a super night
his presence alone was more than enough to give some die-hard fans enough
excitement.
Some will say it cannot be called
an off night after he placed the incredible pass that forced an own goal by
Luke Shaw in the 12th minute.
The night at old Trafford
revolved around Messi who was the subject of discuss before, during and after
the match but who had to return home with a broken nose.
He will hope to be back to his
best on Tuesday night when Barca hope to defend their lead at the Nou Camp.
Wednesday night did not go without the usual comparison between Messi arch
rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Juventus forward also grabbed
attention when he returned from injury to score away against Ajax in a match
that eventually ended 1-1 thus handing Juventus an opportunity to carry the day
in the return leg just as Messi and his teammates will be looking forward to
finish the project at the Nou camp in the return leg.
