However, since leaving the Italian side Inter Milan in August, Romelu Lukaku has only managed 12 goals in 36 appearances and has dropped down the pecking order under Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel.

Asked to compare the two, Serena posted to social media as per Football Italia:

“It’s about how they react to changing circumstances.

“Some were challenged and lost all confidence, while another started from the position of support for Cristiano Ronaldo, but with that departure he took the throne, boosting his self-confidence and character.”

The duo were instrumental for Liverpool as the Reds cruised to a 3-1 win over their Portuguese counterparts in the first leg of the quarter-final.

Diaz was the one who assisted Mane with the Senegalese’s goal, it made sense that the pair appreciated each other after the match.
