Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone has commended Ademola Lookman for his contribution in the side’s 4-1 win over Club Brugge.
Lookman started the match on the bench but was introduced in the 70th minute as a replacement for Alex Baena.
The Nigerian international made an immediate impact, setting up Alexander Sørloth for Atlético’s third goal just six minutes after coming on.
”I was impressed because there is a lot of work and effort behind the scenes; it’s not easy to adapt to this great team that is Atlético,” Simeone said after the game.
“I liked Lookman’s entry; he should have played, but he didn’t play because Sørloth played.”
The tricky winger joined the Spanish giants from Atalanta on the final day of the winter transfer window.
He has so far registered four goals and three assists in seven matches across all competitions for the Rojiblancos.
