Lukaku celebrates: "I'm 32 and I'm still competitive"

Napoli striker Romelu Lukaku has heaped praise on former Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"I'm 32 years old and I continue to compete at the highest level. I do everything I can to do that, I even have my own gym at home."

"Of course, I admire the careers of Leo Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Robert Lewandowski, they are truly amazing, but for me the real example is Karim Benzema, who won the Ballon d'Or after 32. He is so inspiring. Seeing the positive in everything and getting on the right path is important. LeBron James also expresses that idea," said the Belgian footballer.
