Belgium got a win over Sweden by 3-0 today but interestingly De Bruyne wasn't able to make any contribution with goals or assists. But it was a day for Lukaku to shine after a long break. Because he made a hat-trick in this game and played the biggest role in this comfortable win. It has been a long time since I last saw him like this. I'm wondering if something would change about him.

Because this superb performance would improve his morale significantly. His self-confidence level also must have increased. Let's see how that will reflect on his remaining games in the season.

That's right, it's quite surprising because Kevin DeBruyne has been a big role for Belgium these past few years and without a single assists it's quite weird, I think as usual he is the best assists provider every time Belgium plays, D. Lukebakio replaced DeBryune's role very well by providing 2 successful assists and executed by Lukaku well and what is no less surprising is how Lukaku managed to score a hat trick, this will open up the opportunity for him to immediately get a contract as a permanent player, not just a loan.

Poland's defeat was also surprising because they not only lost but were already 3 goals behind and were only able to score one goal in the final minutes of the match, Lewandowski always appeared weak when defending his national team. There was a lot of hope for him but his performance was not as good as at the club, to help the national team his country performed well and won the game.
