Before this game, Romelu Lukaku has been criticized severally for having a bad scoring record against top sides and was considered a flat-track bully by pundits across the globe during Jose Mourinho's time at Old Trafford.

But the former Everton sharpshooter proved his critics wrong yesterday with his brace against one of the biggest teams in European football. He performed when his team needed him the most and he was a huge inspiration to the side in Paris.

In the absence of Paul Pogba, the weight of the relatively young Manchester United lineup was on his shoulders and he carried it excellently. He has now scored 6 in his last 3 games and it seems like we have our prime Lukaku back.
