Super Cup: Atalanta Has Quality To Beat Real Madrid- Lookman

Nigerian striker Ademola Lookman admits Atalanta are ‘excited’ to play Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup and want to prove they ‘deserve to be here’ after winning the Europa League, BSNSports.com.ng has sourced. The clash kicks off at the National Stadium in Warsaw. La Dea earned their place in this showdown thanks to the 3-0 Europa League Final victory over much-fancied Bayer Leverkusen, where Lookman was the hat-trick hero. Lookman who could take centre-stage again said: “I think is a different occasion. Playing in the Super Cup is a different night. So, I’m excited, happy to be involved, and looking forward to it. “It’s not just me, but I think the whole squad is excited about the occasion. We deserve to be here through our hard work and perseverance. Wednesday night is another chance to show that.” If Atalanta were the underdogs against Bayer Leverkusen, then they can multiply that status when facing Champions League serial winners Real Madrid. “It’s a top team of top players, who are ready at any moment. I don’t think there’s any good time to face Real Madrid. Obviously, they have their powers, but we also have quality.”
