Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman said he was “very, very happy” after scoring and providing an assist in Atletico Madrid’s 4-0 win over Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg.
Lookman praised his team’s performance and said the players worked well together. “Of course, scoring is good, but I think the team played really well tonight,” he said after the match.
The Nigerian forward also highlighted Atletico’s teamwork in front of goal. “In the box we were very professional, and today we showed a great level of teamwork,” he added.
Lookman said the fans played a big role in the victory. “We got that energy from our fans tonight, they were amazing, so we are glad,” he said.
The forward explained that he is always looking to score and help the team. “You always want to score as an attacker, always looking to get into dangerous positions, so I just try to be in the right place at the right time,” he said.
Despite the big win, Lookman warned that the tie is not finished. “Of course, it’s a big victory. But we have a few more games coming up before we play away, so we need to stay with the same mindset and focus on those matches,” he said.
Atletico now have a strong advantage going into the second leg, while Barcelona will need a big comeback to stay in the competition.
