Atalanta FC Boss, Gasperini, Blasts African Footballer of the Year, Ademola Lookman, labels him “One of the Worst Penalty Takers” After UCL Exit
Gian Piero Gasperini, manager of Atalanta, labeled Ademola Lookman as “one of the worst penalty takers I’ve ever seen” following Lookman’s missed penalty in their 3-1 defeat to Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League playoff.
Lookman, who had been sidelined with a knee injury since January, came on as a substitute at halftime and scored immediately, boosting Atalanta’s performance. However, the tide turned in the 61st minute when Club Brugge’s goalkeeper, Simon Mignolet, easily saved Lookman’s poorly executed penalty. This miss seemed to drain Atalanta’s momentum, leading to their elimination from the Champions League with an aggregate score of 5-2.
