The match between Atlanta and Club Brugge in the Champions League on Tuesday, February 18, did not go unnoticed without the anger of Italian Gian Pero Gasperini from his superstar Ademola lookman after their sudden loss from Club Brugge yesterday by a score of 3-1 in the round of 16 of the playoff stage.

The situation was tense at the Combine in Bergamo, due to the loss in Belgium with a score of 1-0 from Club Brugge, the team was expected to give a better performance in Italy, but what happened was exactly the opposite and the Atlanta team lost from the guests by a triple for a goal.

The Nigerian star started the match from the bench and in the first half they received three goals, in the second half lookman entered the field and scored a goal, and he got one last chance to score the penalty kick that the team got, but what happened was a cruel surprise and Ademola wasted the opportunity to score his second goal and make the score 3-2, but what happened was that he wasted the kick and it was a shock.

With the end of the match and Atalanta bidding farewell to the championship, Italian Gasperini openly criticized his player at the press conference and said that he was the worst penalty taker.

Ademola Lookman is one of the worst penalty takers I’ve ever seen, He wanted to take the penalty after scoring a goal, he took the ball despite Retegui and De Keteleare available to take it, I didn’t like what Lookman did.
