Atalanta super star, Ademola Lookman on Wednesday scored three times for his club to win the Europa League Trophy.
The win for Atalanta ended the unbeaten run for the German Bundesliga champions as they could not score any goal in the game.
The talented Nigerian player who was outstanding at the last African Cup of Nations expressed his excitement during an interview after the match.
It’s Atalanta’s first-ever UEFA Europa League title — their first major title win since 1963 – thus inflicting a first defeat of the season on the newly-crowned German champions in the 2023/24 final at the Dublin Arena on Wednesday.
Lookman’s first-half brace had made him the first African to score a brace in the final of a major European competition before adding the historic third.
The hat-trick took the 26-year-old’s tally to five goals in the Europa League and 15 goals plus eight assists in all competitions this season.
