Lukaku helped Belgium reach the World Cup semi-final after beating tournament favourites Brazil 2-1 on Friday night.

While he didn't get on the score-sheet, the Manchester United striker played an influential role in his sides second goal, brilliantly creating an opening for Kevin De Bruyne to score.

And after booking a spot in the last four, Lukaku conducted his post-match interview in Portuguese when speaking to Brazilian media.

Flawless Portuguese, Rom.

Lukaku left the media mix zone stunned after hollering in their native tongue to members of the Brazilian press.

Not bad considering he's never lived in Portugal. Since turning professional, the 25-year-old has plied his trade in England.

So how does he know the language?

Well, it's down to ex-Chelsea teammate Jose Bosingwa. Remember him?!

He was quizzed about how he knew Portuguese. Lukaku revealed that he learned the language after rooming with Bosingwa whilst at Chelsea.

Anyway, Lukaku still has two games to improve his World Cup tally. He's already chipped in with four goals but remains two goals behind England hero Harry Kane.

Will Lukaku bag against France on Tuesday? Watch this space.
