Ademola Lookman: Nigeria’s Last Hope in Champions League Quarter-Final
Ademola Lookman woke up as the only Nigerian still alive in this season’s Champions League. Every other Super Eagles representative has been knocked out, leaving the winger to carry the national flag alone. Since joining Atlético Madrid in February, Lookman has hit the ground running. He scored three goals and provided two assists in his first five outings for his new club. Next up is a daunting quarter-final against Barcelona. The Atlético manager admits Barcelona are the best attacking side in Europe, but Lookman believes the challenge will sharpen his team. With Victor Osimhen sidelined by injury and Nigeria absent from the World Cup, football fans have few positives. Lookman’s run in Europe’s premier club competition offers a rare moment of pride.
