Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman has expressed delight to have scored his debut goal for Atletico Madrid in Thursday’s Copa del Rey against Real Betis.
The Nigerian international, who recently joined the Spanish club from Atalanta during the January transfer window, wasted no time announcing his arrival by scoring the third goal in Atletico Madrid’s 5-0 win in the quarter-finals.
Speaking after the game, the former African Footballer of the Year winner stated that it’s a dream start for him to have scored in his first game.

“I’m very happy. Everyone has been great with me. It’s a dream start.” 🗣️ “That happiness makes me wanna work hard and perform for this amazing club.”
“Very proud, very happy for my debut, especially for the performance of the team. The team, everyone in the dressing room welcomed me in a very affectionate way,” said Lookman after the game.
“They made it easy for me. That’s why I’m very happy. I’ll try to be regular in the season. Everyone works hard. There are things that can be improved, but my intention is to continue working to improve, which is the important thing.”

The only person that will be sad is Dr drey.
He will be sad because oshimen missed playing for a big club because of his attitude.
Dr drey, be happy….laugh
Attitude o my brother! You should have written it in CAPITAL LETTERS….
Is this the brain where sermons to your members come from…..?? Poor sheep without a shepherd……..Woe betide whoever follows your counsel.
Dr. Drey will be sad…….LMAOooo……Wow
Please kindly link Osimhen “missing out of big clubs” and Lookman scoring a goal for Athletico Madrid……….LMAoooo. Please link them both logically…….we would like to understand your way of reasoning.
You see that it will be a compliment if you were referred to what this illogic says of you……??
What short sightedness……..LMAOoo. Typical of you…..!
I am almost not surprised. I am only just surprised you didn’t find a way to bring Rohr into this……..LMAOooo.
Maybe you should have said Dr.Drey hates Lookman because it wasnt Rohr who gave him his international debut……..LMAOooo. That would have sounded way more sensible than the crap you threw up.
Osimhen missed playing for a big club or big clubs missed out on Osimhen……LMAOoooo. What would “big clubs” give him that he isn’t already getting…..??
Is it that common sense is running far away from you, or you have not been reading the news lately…???
“Juventus pays tribute to Osimhen ahead of Galatasaray game”
“Guardiola hails Osimhen ahead of Man City Clash”
” Simeone talks up Osimhen after Athletico draw”
Osimhen “missed out” on playing for a big club……..LMAOOoooo. …….but the so-called big clubs have not stopped being scared of him whenever it’s time to face Galatasaray.
Despite not playing for a so-called big club, he finished with 6 goals in 7 games in the Europa league where Man United’s Bruno was topscorer with 7 goals in 14 games, and in the current UCL he is 3rd highest goalscorer thus far with 6 or 7 goals in 5 matches, and that sounds to you like a player who is in oblivion and missing a “big club”……????
Has not playing for a “big club” stopped Osimhen from being a big player…..???
Osimhen “missed out” on playing for a big club……..LMAOOoooo.
Dr. Drey will be sad…….LMAOooo. Because Osimhen is my Son and Lookman was the one who stole my wife from me……..LMAOooo. You think I am a poverty-stricken hater like you hating on other people because of their life choices……??? People who want to tell a living legend how to go about his career and how to spend his money when they demselves dont even own and have never run anything as big as a provision kiosk…??
Of course, I am sad for Ademola Lookman…….at this stage of his career, with all he has achieved and all the talent he has, he shouldn’t be a 35m transfer deadline day outcast that even Athletico Madrid can’t believe their luck they were able to sign so cheaply and easily. Lookman for me is way better than any LWF in England, Germany and Italy, and only Vini Jr earns a better rating from me ahead of Lookman.
He has moved from 1 club that felt they did him a favour to another that feels they’ve also just done him a favour. What honour is in that…….??? If not that you are an ignoramus who hasnt been following Lookman’s transfer saga with intelligence, what you would be feeling for him at the moment is relief and not overt happiness.
Osimhen missed playing for a big club for not taking a pay cut abi……LMAOoo. He missed a big club for not allowing himself to be treated as worthless…….LMAOooo. He missed not playing for a big club because he didnt give one club the opportunity to gloat that “we made you” and another to gloat that “we bailed you”……..LMAOooo
Socrates says “Man, know thyself”.
Osimhen was supposed to roll over for “big clubs” because they would be doing him a favor……LMAOooo. He was supposed to drop his 12m salary for the 5m he was being offered abi……LMAOooo. Go drink rat poison because he’s now in a place where he’s earning 21m while still retaining his reputation………LMAOooo
Why didnt Lookman too negotiate a pay cut during his negotiations too….LMAOoo……why did he agree a deal what 3 times what he was earning at Atalanta with Fenerbache and one worth 2 times with Althletico. Why did he negotiate upwards in both isntances……LMAOoo
I thought he wasnt bouyed by money……LMAOoo
When you see people who have been facing backwardness in their lives from generation to generation, you will always know by their utterances, they don’t need to announce it
Osimhen has attitude, and Lookman doesn’t have attitude right….?? Lookman has so good an attitude that his asking price was dropped up to 35m (a potential 70m player) before he could find a way out of Italy. So much for attitude……..LMAOoo
The way you wear your ignorance around like a medal is quite laughable, you know.
Osimhen is not playing for a big club yet your national team cannot win matches when he’s not around…….LMAOooo. Your national team becomes a bunch of headless chickens when those playing for “big clubs” line up for games……LMAOooo.
And then when they are done with national team games, they hitchhike on Osimhen’s small club’s private jet back to their bases in Europe……..LMAOooo
Y’all continue being busybodies of a player’s career choices.
This goal that he scored in the second best league in the world after the epl is worth (equal to) 5 goals scored in the tolotolo league….
See the player Atalanta claim “We made him”…….LMAOoo.
Superb start for Adebobo….classic Simeone-esque counter-attacking football from Athletico last night. At 4-0 up, they still defended deeply and never lost their shape.
And what a way to announce yourself to the club. Atalanta claimed they are spoilt for choice. Lookman also made them understand they ain’t got nothing on him.
I’ve always maintained this lad is no less a player than any 70m (or even more) worth player anywhere in the world, even at his age…..and he didn’t disappoint.
Uncle Simeone, you can at least see what Moola is made of, please we dont what to hear “he needs to explore the defensive side of his game” or “he needs to improve defensively” in the weeks to come o. Please let our boy flourish in the way he knows best.
Thank you and kind regards.
