Simeone Backs Lookman to Shine for Atletico Madrid Against Real Madrid
Diego Simeone says Atletico Madrid need Ademola Lookman at his best for Sunday’s La Liga derby against Real Madrid at the Metropolitano. Lookman has had a slow start to the campaign, scoring once in seven appearances. However, Simeone believes the Nigerian winger offers a rare ability to beat defenders and create openings around the penalty area. The 28-year-old joined Atletico Madrid from Atalanta last season and recorded nine goals and four assists in 24 matches. He has also scored twice in three previous meetings with Real Madrid, giving Atletico hope that he can make an impact in the derby.
