Ademola Lookman has sent a warning to Real Madrid ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League clash, insisting Atalanta are a much-improved side compared to their previous meeting.
Real Madrid claimed a 2-0 win over Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup back in August, but Ademola Lookman believes his side have evolved significantly since then.
Softfootball has learned that the Nigerian shared his confidence in an interview with TMW ahead of the Gewiss Stadium showdown.
He said:
Now we are a different group, one that has become stronger.
We have shown that consistently, and tomorrow will be another opportunity to prove it, and I can’t wait.
Lookman’s growing influence has been reflected in his numbers this season, with the winger racking up 10 goals and five assists across 17 appearances in all competitions.
Atalanta currently sit fifth in the standings, while Real Madrid find themselves down in 24th following defeats to Liverpool, Milan, and Lille earlier in the competition.
