Benfica player dedicates dream night to his wife | OneFootball

Dodi Lukébakio, Benfica’s Belgian winger, was in the spotlight in the friendly between Belgium and the USA (5-2) last Saturday, scoring twice, one of them a goal of great quality. The forward decided to dedicate this thrashing to someone very special in his personal life.

The 28-year-old player took to social media to make a special dedication: Genie, his wife. “I dedicate this achievement to my lovely wife for her birthday, which fell on the same day, and for all the support she gives me every day, it means a lot to me. The Lord gave me a wonderful gift! I will be eternally grateful,” he wrote on his personal Instagram account.

It is worth noting that the “Red Devils” national team already have their second match scheduled. It will take place on April 1 (Wednesday), against Mexico, at Soldier Field in Chicago, with kick-off at 2:00 am (mainland Portugal time).

Belgium — whose squad was selected by Roberto Martínez before he was chosen to coach Portugal — will face Egypt, Iran and New Zealand in Group G of the tournament, on June 15, 21 and 27, respectively. The World Cup will be held in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

This season, for Benfica, Dodi Lukebakio — valued at €20 million — has already made a total of 17 official appearances: 11 in Liga Portugal Betclic, four in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup and one in the League Cup.
