Ademola Lookman has warned his Atalanta teammates to be wary of the Real Madrid team ahead of their Super Cup clash.

Europa League winners Atalanta are preparing to face UEFA Champions League winners Real Madrid in the Super Cup clash.

Real Madrid will unleash their stars in an attempt to win their sixth Super Cup and become the first team to win seven titles in one season.

However, Lookman has admitted that Real Madrid are a quality side and has won his teammates to give their all in the game.

The Super Eagles striker believes Real Madrid are a different team and that Atalanta will need to put in their best effort to defeat the Spanish team.

According to Soccernet, Lookman said, “Am I afraid of Real? I don’t want to disrespect Bayer Leverkusen, but the whole squad is excited to play against Real Madrid.

“We deserve to be here. We won the Europa League final and tomorrow we have another opportunity to show our qualities.

“We are very happy to be here and we will do everything to win the match. Let each of us give 110%, that is the best we can do.

“They’re a top team, top players. I don’t think there’s a best time to play against them,” Lookman added.

“But we’re focused on ourselves and our game, on how we can play. Real are dangerous, but we’ve got the skills too, and they’ll have to stop us too.”

After winning the Europa League championship in May against Bayer Leverkusen of Germany in the final, Atalanta is making their debut in the one-match competition.

Lookman emerged as the player of the match after the Nigerian forward scored each of the three goals that gave Atalanta the lead.

His manager, Gian Piero Gasperini, is banking on Ademola Lookman to help them defeat Real Madrid in their Super Cup clash.
