Sports Life or death now' - Lukaku insists Inter have to go for the Scudetto

Romelu Lukaku insists Inter have to go for the Scudetto in this compacted end to the season. ‘It’s 12 Finals, they are all life or death.’

The Belgian was on target in yesterday's 2-1 win over Sampdoria, along with Lautaro Martinez, in the rescheduled Week 25 fixture.

He celebrated by taking the knee in honour of the Black Lives Matter movement.

“It was very important to win today, as from now to the end of the season it’s 12 Finals, they are all life or death. Now we have to focus and get fired up for Wednesday,” the striker told Sky Sport Italia.

“Every game is tough from now and they will not be easy for anybody. We worked really well in training, the team is in good shape physically, but we have to keep going and get even stronger, because it’s going to be a game every three days.”

The result means Inter are now within six points of Serie A leaders Juventus.
