With Lukaku's brace for Belgium, they lead their group winning three-nil against Russia. England got redemption against Croatia after 2018's semi-final loss and on the last matchday, Germany lost against France 1-0 with Portugal taking the lead in that group thanks to a 3-0 win against Hungary with two goals by Ronaldo to help him become the top ever scorer in the Euros.
