Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone has applauded Ademola Lookman’s performance in the club’s Champions League encounter against Arsenal.
The LaLiga giants held Mikel Arteta’s side to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their semi-final fixture at the Metropolitano on Wednesday night.
Viktor Gyökeres gave Arsenal the lead from the penalty spot just before the break.
Atlético fought back after the break with Argentina international Julian Alvarez also converting from the spot.
Lookman came close to scoring twice
for the home team, but was denied by David Raya.
The Nigeria international also put up a solid defensive work in the keenly contested encounter.
“I loved Lookman’s game; we’re getting an important player to understand that his defensive work helps us,” Simeone was quoted by Marca.

Can lookman be made the captain of the super eagles ASAP??
We can”t have a whole super eagles being captain by individuals plying their trade in an average league….
It doesnt suit the super eagles brand atall….
Imagine both the captain (ndidi) and his vice are all playing in a very low class league….
This doesnt portray and project the super eagles image in a prestigious manner….
In modern football this things matter….
Kanu nwankwo was playing for arsenal fc when he was made captain of the se before he moved to portsmouth…
Mikel was with chelsea…
Ahmed musa was with csk moscow…
Troose ekong was playing in england….
And in all those times the super eagles had a dominant reign in African and world football….
The way the international community perceive us was with great respect..
But since all these tolotolo guys assumed leadership even to qualify for back to back world cup is now like a carmel passing through the eye of a needle….
Everything is now shambles…
No fear and respect again….
Its either one player is shouting at the other on the pitch and nobody to call him to order or he is always coming late to camp….
Back then you can’t try it with kanu nwankwo, mikel or even ahmed musa as the captain because these guys are playing in an elite league…
