Romelu Lukaku must avoid repeating his 2013 nightmare to prove Chelsea wrong

It looks like Romelu Lukaku has decided to leave Chelsea. Oh no, Romelu, not again!

Reports claim that the Belgian is ready to make his Chelsea exit after not settling in as well as he'd hoped. It feels a little like deja vu doesn't in. It was just ten years ago when Lukaku decided to leave Chelsea whilst under the management of Jose Mourinho. All it took was a penalty in the Super Cup final against Bayern Munich to change the course of his destiny.

Lukaku missed the only penalty in the shoot-out in the 2013 UEFA Super Cup, and that same summer, he had made a loan move to Everton. The miss broke the hearts of many Chelsea fans but also sent Lukaku down a path that led right back to Chelsea in 2021.
