Atalanta vs Real Madrid: Lookman in Great Form Makes Atalanta the Favorites to Win

Lookman has been outstanding, scoring 10 goals and getting 5 assists in 17 matches for Atalanta. He has also been very important in the Champions League, with 2 goals and 1 assist, helping Atalanta stay unbeaten in their group against teams like Arsenal, Shakhtar Donetsk, and Celtic. His recent match-winning performance against AC Milan has also helped Atalanta stay at the top of Serie A, showing that he is one of the best attackers in Europe right now.

On the other hand, Mbappé has not been in his best form. He has only scored 1 goal and gotten 1 assist in 5 Champions League games. This poor form has left Real Madrid struggling, and they are now in 24th place in the Champions League. They are desperate for a win.

Real Madrid also has a lot of injuries, with important players like Rodrygo, Eder Militao, and Dani Carvajal unavailable. This makes it harder for the team to perform well. Their defense is weak, with only Toni Rüdiger as the main center-back, and Atalanta can take advantage of this. Also, Real Madrid is vulnerable to counterattacks, which is something Lookman and his teammates can exploit.

Atalanta has a strong defense too, having not conceded a goal in the Champions League, which makes them even more dangerous. With momentum on their side and playing at home, Atalanta seems ready for a big win. While Real Madrid’s history in the Champions League cannot be ignored, Lookman’s form could be the difference, giving Atalanta the upper hand in this matc
