UCL: Lookman, Juric Disagree

Tension appears to be brewing in the Atalanta camp as head coach Ivan Juric clashed with Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman during their UEFA Champions League game, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The incident occurred shortly after Juric substituted Lookman in the second half. Cameras caught the pair in a heated exchange on the touchline, with the Atalanta boss appearing visibly upset.

This confrontation comes just weeks after reports surfaced suggesting Lookman was seeking a move away from the club a situation Juric publicly addressed with strong remarks at the time.

According to reports from Italy, the argument did not end on the sidelines. More words were said between the two after the final whistle, even as other Atalanta players celebrated their dramatic victory.

The club is yet to make an official statement regarding the incident, but it raises questions about the relationship between Juric and one of his key attacking players.
