Romelu Lukaku marked his goal by taking a knee.
Lukaku, who is Black, showed his support for the Black Lives Matter movement after scoring Inter’s opener in the 10th minute — finishing off an impressive team move.
The Belgium forward posted a photo of that moment on social media after the match with the words: "This one is for all the people who’s fighting for injustice. I am with you."
