Atletico Madrid may have won the first leg of a UEFA Champions League quarterfinal at Barcelona, but Ademola Lookman has admitted Tuesday’s return at home will be another “massive challenge” for his team.
Atleti won 2-0 at Camp Nou for the first time in 20 years to set the tone for an epic rematch in front of their fans.
“It will be a massive challenge, massive match, we know. So, calm heads for sure,” Ademola Lookman reasoned.
“We got the victory, but on to the next game.
“It was a very good result, good performance by the team. We got our moments and we took them.
“That’s thanks to the work that everyone has been doing.”
Ademola Lookman said the timing of his team’s two goals went a great way to define the outcome of Wednesday’s all-Spanish clash.
“We scored after they had a man sent off, that was key. A brilliant free kick by Julian (Alvarez) and also the timing of our second goal in the second half,” said the forward, who said his first months at Atleti have been “great”.
