Fans Angry After Atalanta Players Allegedly Snub Lookman in Match Against Real Madrid
Football fans are upset after Ademola Lookman’s teammates at Atalanta reportedly refused to pass him the ball during their recent Champions League match against Real Madrid.
Despite Lookman’s great performance, which earned him the Man of the Match award, many fans think his teammates’ actions cost Atalanta a possible win.
In a thrilling game in Bergamo, Atalanta’s 15-game unbeaten streak ended with a tough 3-2 loss to Real Madrid. Lookman scored an amazing goal in the 65th minute, his third in this season’s Champions League, and raised his total to 11 goals across all competitions.
However, some fans were angry, claiming that his teammates were jealous of Lookman’s skills and deliberately didn’t pass him the ball when he could have scored more goals.
One fan wrote on social media, “They denied him two great passes that could have turned into goals.” Another fan added, “Even the commentator noticed it. I was so upset. They clearly envied Lookman.”
Some fans even said Atalanta could have won the match if Lookman had gotten the passes he needed.
Despite the loss, Lookman stayed positive, praising his team’s spirit and saying they fought hard against a strong opponent. In his post-match comments, he talked about the importance of learning from the experience.
This situation has increased Lookman’s reputation as an important player for Atalanta. Fans believe he deserves more recognition for his role in the team’s future success.
