Romelu Lukaku believes the rivalry between Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland will dominate football for at least the next 10 years. Inter Milan forward Lukaku is preparing to face Manchester City's Haaland in the Champions League final on Saturday. Ad Haaland has torn up the record books after scoring 36 Premier League goals in 38 games in his debut season, surpassing Andy Cole’s and Alan Shearer’s respective tallies of 34 goals in a 42-game season.

In total, the Norway international has scored 52 goals in 52 appearances to spearhead City's treble pursuit.

“They will be fighting from the new generation. They will really take over (from Messi and Ronaldo) in the next two years.” Lukaku looked in more detail at the test which Inter face on Saturday in Istanbul, and knows the Serie A side will be huge underdogs in Turkey. “It’s a beautiful thing, playing probably against the best team in the world.

I just want to enjoy it, not having pressure, just enjoy the moment, enjoy the build-up, go there to have the best result possible. “Man City is a well-drilled team. [Pep] Guardiola is such a good coach because every game is a different game plan.
