Super Eagles striker, Ademola Lookman, has shared his thoughts following Atletico Madrid’s resounding 4-0 victory over Barcelona in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final at the Metropolitano Stadium.
Lookman was instrumental in the win, not only scoring but also assisting a goal to put Hansi Flick’s side on the back foot.
Lookman Celebrates Big Win
“I’m very, very happy. Of course, it’s nice to score, but I think the performance of the team was top tonight. In both boxes we were clinical, and we showed togetherness today that was impeccable,” Lookman told Sporty TV.
“We got that energy from our fans tonight, they were amazing, so we are glad.
“You always want to score as an attacker, always looking to get into dangerous positions, so I just try to be there at the right moment at the right time.”
Barcelona will host Diego Simeone’s Atletico side in the return leg on Tuesday, 3 March.
Keeping Winning Momentum
Looking ahead, Lookman emphasized the importance of maintaining focus in the upcoming matches.
“Of course, it’s a big victory. But we have a few more games in between before we play them away, so we must keep the same mindset and the same focus in those matches, which will take us to the other semi final. We are looking forward to the days ahead,” added the Nigeria international.
