“We’re very happy to be into the next round. Every game is hard, and everyone knows the quality in this competition,” Lookman said after the game.
“The five goals in the first leg have taken us through, and there are positives to take tonight, so into the next round we go.
“Spurs scored first, and it would have been easy to collapse, but we had the mentality to stay calm, stay in the game and get opportunities. It was nice to be back in London, I call it home.
“Barcelona will be a special, special game against another tough opponent. We need to be ready for it and we’ll prepare in the right way. Let’s take it as it comes.”

Lol…imagination wan would me…hahahaha…I just dey imagine say what if last lasr athlectico madrid with lookman come win cl…lol…
Omo!!! Anything is possible sha…but we need to step up our game…lets take it one game at a time.. barcelona next….
But qualifying for quarter finals is like a trophy on its own….
E no easy considering how many big teams no go through the next stage…the likes of chelsea, mancity, galatesary sorry I mean big teams…so only chelsea and mancity and thats it…
Hoohahaha……somebody’s “big club” got dumped out 8-2 at the same stage of the UCL as a tolotolo club……. LMAOOO.
The club that felt they were doing Osimhen a favour by offering him 65k per week wage to join them…… LMAOOO
The tolotolo club at least even managed to win one out of 2 legs of their R16 tie and only lost 1-4 on aggregate …… LMAOOO…..and the way it’s looking, we might likely see the tolotolo club in the UCL again never season while the “big club” will likely play in the conference league.
It won’t be funny if Osimhen wins 2 trophies this season and “big club” wins nothing.
Chai…..me and this my imagination sef.
dr dre. have u forgotten how press said lion Delap is better than osimhen. a striker in championship is better than a tested striker i top European league. wonders shall never end.
Are you minding the British press…? It was all an agenda. How can a native Black African player ever aspire to be a top earner in their league? He was supposed to be rolling on the floor begging to be signed for peanuts…….LMAOoo.
No wonder Gary Lineker had to set up his ring light to publicly apologize to Osimhen. He knew what they had done in the background to demarket him
Even that wild pig up there, whom Osimhen has roundly humiliated, was initially saying Delap is better than Osimhen, Jackson is better than Osimhen, Samu Aghehowa is better than Osimhen, etc……LMAOoo….practically every striker out there used to be better than Osimhen…..LMAOooo…Osimhen was not that good……LMAOOo……but these days, he only compares Osimhen with the likes of Haaland and Mbappe……..LMAOoooo.
I checked the list of top scorers in this year’s UCL, and while Osimhen is up there on the table together with his mates Kane, Haaland, and Mbappe, none of the strikers of his “big club” were in the top 30 scorers in this season’s UCL……LMAooo.
His big club got dumped out, walloped home and away at the same stage with a tolotolo club…..LMAOooo
That is why I always counter that erroneous notion that Osimhen “missed out” on big clubs…….that’s an absolute fax pas. It’s the big clubs who missed out on Osimhen. Some of them are beginning to see the light now.
7 goals, 3 assists, and 5 MOM awards in 10 matches in the UCL, playing for a team like Galatasaray is so unreal, so impossible. The big clubs that passed on the opportunity to sign Osimhen should shows how many goals, assists and MOM awards the better strikers they chose had in the UCL this season.
He will be back in the UCL next year, while one “big club” doesn’t even look like it will make the top 5 in the EPL at the end of the season to qualify for next year’s UCL…..LMAOoo
