World Cup 2018: 5 players that stood out in the group stage.

#4 Romelu Lukaku (Belgium)

Belgium vs Panama: Group G - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia

The 25-year-old Manchester United striker leads the Belgian attack as a centre-forward in their 3-4-2-1 attacking formation. Lukaku, being The Red Devils' all-time top goalscorer lead the goal-scoring tally in the World Cup qualifiers by scoring 11 goals and assisting once in 8 matches.

Lukaku takes his team to the knockout stages of the 2018 World Cup in Russia by gathering 4 goals to his name in the two matches he played, adding his name to the list of this year's FIFA Golden Boot candidates.

Belgium faced Panama in their opening match of the World Cup where Lukaku scored twice, a header in the 69th minute of the game and a chip-shot 6 minutes later.

In the second match, Tunisia posed no threat to the Belgians as they scored five goals against Tunisia's two. Lukaku scored his second brace of the tournament in his second match. He scored his first goal 16 minutes into the game with a shot to the bottom-right corner of the goal, followed by a chip shot 3 minutes into the first half's injury time.

Romelu was taken off in the 59th minute of the game against Tunisia in fear of an injury and was later confirmed by head coach Roberto Martinez that there is no injury, but Lukaku will take a few days of rest, denying him the chance to play against England in the final match of the group stage.

At the end of the group stage, Lukaku retains his spot in the list of FIFA Golden Boot candidates with 4 goals, alongside Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo and below England's Harry Kane.
