Ademola Lookman narrowly misses Atalanta Goal of the Season award

Posted : 02 July 2024

Nigeria’s Ademola Lookman narrowly missed out on Atalanta’s Goal of the Season award. The Super Eagles winger was closely beaten by Colombian forward Luis Muriel in a highly competitive voting session. The top goals from Atalanta’s 106-goal haul during the 2023/24 season were divided into six groups.


Lookman’s stunning second goal against Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final dominated Group A, while his third goal against the same team progressed from Group D. In the quarterfinals, these two goals faced each other, with the second goal advancing to the next stage.


In the semifinals, Lookman’s goal outperformed Ruggeri’s powerful strike against Olympique Marseille, securing 73% of the votes. However, in the final, Lookman’s goal was up against Muriel’s audacious backheel against AC Milan.


Muriel’s backheel goal, scored in injury time to secure a 3-2 win over Milan, garnered 53% of the final vote, edging out Lookman’s effort. Despite this narrow miss, Lookman’s season was still remarkable, as he had already been named Atalanta’s Player of the Month for May-June and Player of the Season.


Additionally, Lookman’s impressive performances earned him the title of Best African International Footballer at the Ghana Football Awards in Accra.


The former Everton and Leicester City star is also a strong contender for the CAF Africa Player of the Year award, further highlighting his outstanding season.
