Ademola Lookman played a crucial role in Atalanta’s emphatic 4-0 triumph over Juventus at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday night. The Nigerian forward found the net as his team dominated their opponents in a commanding display.
Before Lookman’s goal, Atalanta had already established a strong lead with strikes from Mateo Retegui, Marten de Roon, and Davide Zappacosta. His late effort sealed an impressive victory for the visitors.
By scoring in this match, Lookman achieved a significant milestone, reaching 50 goals in all competitions for the Bergamo-based club.
Overall, he has now contributed 50 goals and 22 assists in 109 appearances for Atalanta, highlighting his impact since joining the team.
The current season has been particularly outstanding for the Nigerian international, as he has already netted 18 times and provided seven assists in 31 matches. His consistency has played a key role in Atalanta’s strong campaign.
Lookman’s time at Atalanta has been a resurgence in his career, especially after struggling for stability during his stint with RB Leipzig, which led to loan spells at Fulham and Leicester City. His performances have been vital in Atalanta’s push for silverware, including their memorable UEFA Europa League victory where he scored a hat-trick in the final against Bayer Leverkusen.
With this latest win, Atalanta climbed to third in the Serie A standings, narrowing the gap to league leaders Inter Milan. Lookman’s excellent form has also earned him a spot in Nigeria’s 39-man provisional squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe, where coach Eric Chelle will count on his contributions.
