Ademola Lookman: The numbers behind the masterclass that set up explosive all-Nigerian UEL final
Ademola Lookman played a starring role as Atalanta knocked out Marseille to set up an explosive clash against Bayer Leverkusen.
Lookman rules Europa League
Lookman opened the scoring in the second leg in Bergamo, finishing off a slick team move by firing home from the edge of the box.
The Super Eagles star at the AFCON 2023 then teed up Matteo Ruggeri to make it 2-0 in the second half as Atalanta took control of proceedings.

His performance on the night was enough to see off stiff competition from Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar, who made 12 saves against Bayer Leverkusen, to claim the prestigious Player of the Week accolade.
It caps an incredible campaign for Lookman in Italy, with the skilful wideman contributing 20 goals and assists in all competitions this season for the Serie A club.
Gian Piero Gasperini's side and Lookman will now take on fellow Nigerians Victor Boniface and Nathan Tella of Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final in Dublin on May 22nd.
And on this form, Lookman will surely be one of Atalanta's biggest threats as they bid to get their hands on the trophy for the first time in their history against the German outfit.
