Notes
change- ^ Lukaku caps against Romania on 14 November 2012, against Luxembourg (included his hat-trick goals) on 26 May 2014 and against Czech Republic on 5 June 2017 were counted by RBFA, but not initially officially recognised by FIFA due to an excessive number of substitutions that violated the Laws of the Game.[53][54][55][56]
