Lookman’s Bernabeu Breakthrough: First Nigerian to Score in Madrid Derby

1 / 6

Ademola Lookman wrote his name into history on his Atletico Madrid debut at the Bernabeu. He waited until the 33rd minute before converting a Giuliano Simeone backheel into the net. That goal made him the first Nigerian ever to score in a Madrid derby. It also marked Atletico’s eighth player this century to net on their derby debut and their first since 2015. Atletico fell 3-2 despite Lookman’s effort. Yet only one moment will be remembered in years to come: a Nigerian silencing the Bernabeu with a historic strike.
