Lookman Praises Teammates After Barcelona Win
Ademola Lookman, a forward for Atlético Madrid, commended his teammates for their discipline and unity following a 2-0 win against FC Barcelona in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday. Lookman highlighted the significance of teamwork in overcoming the possession-dominant Barcelona side at Camp Nou, noting that the job is not yet complete as they prepare for the return leg.
He acknowledged the challenge of protecting their lead and emphasized the need for a calm approach in the upcoming match. The first leg saw a pivotal moment when Barcelona was reduced to ten men following Pau Cubar's red card, which allowed Julián Álvarez to score and give Atlético Madrid the lead.
Lookman played 60 minutes in the match and expressed confidence in executing their game plan effectively in the return leg, which will determine their progression to the semi-finals against either Arsenal or Sporting CP.
