Ademola Lookman will be aiming to win his first major silverware with Atlético Madrid when the Red and Whites face Real Sociedad in the 2026 Copa del Rey final at the Estadio de la Cartuja on Saturday (today).
Lookman has established himself as a key player at the Metropolitano Stadium after arriving from Serie A club Atalanta in January.
The Nigeria international played a pivotal role in Atlético’s run to the final with important goals, and assists against Real Betis and Barcelona.
The 28-year-old scored on his debut against Real Betis, with Colchoneros demolishing their opponent 5-0.

Lookman was also on target in Atlético’s 4-0 home victory over Barcelona.
The tricky winger has registered two goals and two assists in just three appearances in the competition.
The former Leicester City star has recorded six goals and four assists in 17 appearances across all competitions for Diego Simeone’s side.
Atletico have won the Copa del Rey 10 times with their last triumph in the 2012-2013 season, and finished runners-up on nine other occasions.
Real Sociedad, meanwhile, have won the tournament three times and will be aiming to secure their fourth title.

Sombody shout Grace!!
You see sometimes no be by all those akpu akpu football wey that one they play….
See lookman who just arrived spain (february this year) and has not spent 3 months there, he wants to land himself a Copa del Rey and by the grace of God very soon champions league…
But the other Tolotolo boy has been with his Gala team through out this season (since August) but was shamelessly kicked out of the champions league and is almost losing grip of a mere tolotolo league title to onuachu(they are just at the top with a point)…
And I pray onuachu wins it…
He truely deserves it…
You this monkey what is wrong with you. You’re just throwing stones at Dr Drey. Be careful o.
Someone is ridiculing himself and you claim he’s throwing stones at Dr.Drey……LMAOoo. Is this how low in IQ you are…..??
It has taken just 2 statements from Lamine Yamal and Di Lorenzo to waste all his efforts for nearly 2yrs now……just 2 statements…… LMAOOO
Nobody watches the Turkish league yet he watches Trabzonspor…… LMAOoo
The Turkish league is a tolotolo league yet winning it is the hallmark of greatness…… LMAOOO
Osimhen is not good, but Lamine Yamal sees him good enough to be the last piece to make Barca become invincible once again
No big club wants Osimhen but Di Laurentis recently slapped his mouth by admitting they actually did.
Almost everyone who once said negative things about Osimhen are coming in public to regret their actions……LMAOoo
Almost everything your twin has been running mad over for 2 years has been confirmed to be untrue…..LMAOoo…..How better can anyone subject himself to self ridicule….. LMAOOO???
2 years of lies thrashed and wasted like toilet paper by just 2 articles…… LMAOoo
But in your own fickle mind you see all that as throwing stones at Dr.Drey…….LMAOooo.
Am I amazed….. absolutely not. Anyone who doesn’t know what “ridiculous” means only needs to read the comments you make here…… LMAOOO
Someone is writhing in the pains and shame of 2 years of disgrace, but to you he’s throwing stones….. LMAOOO
If Galatasaray was shamelessly kicked out of the champions league, what should we say about his big blue club that was booted out at the same stage as a tolotolo club, beaten home and away….. LMAOOO. They aint gonna be playing in the UCL next season as things stand now. All their strikers put together didn’t score anywhere near the number goals the tolotolo boy scored in the most elite club competition in the whole world.
To think that was the same club that felt they were doing Osimhen a favour by offering him peanuts makes it even more laughable.
It’s way better to be “shamelessly” eliminated from the champions league the way Galatasaray was eliminated than the way the blue club was…… LMAOOO
Instead of pitying him, you choose to subject him to more ridicule by being ridiculous yourself…….what sort of a Christian minister are you…..?!!

Can’t really understand why the coach always substitute Lookman too early , This is kind of player that can solely make the difference in a match like this
Final of all matches….
