Kevin De Bruyne says he loves the 'beautiful' picture of himself and Romelu Lukaku shaking hands during Belgium's win over Finland.
De Bruyne and Lukaku enjoy a special bond off the pitch that continues to be reflected at Euro 2020, as Belgium assert their status as one of the favourites to lift the trophy next month. The two combined to create their second goal against Finland, with De Bruyne playing in the striker who netted his third of the tournament.
The goal was celebrated with their signature handshake, and speaking on the picture - which Lukaku posted on his Instagram - De Bruyne said he loves it and the diversity it symbolises.
“I love that picture of the two of us. It is everything," he told the Mirror.
“The atmosphere, the combination of black and white players. It shows diversity. That’s what makes the photo beautiful.
“You see this kind of celebration in the NBA, but, in all honesty, their handshakes are 10 times more complicated to do.
“This has become our handshake after a goal, although I don’t want to make it too much of a big thing.”
