As Atalanta gears up to face Real Madrid in a crucial UEFA Champions League encounter, Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman has shared his thoughts on Kylian Mbappé’s current form.
Speaking in an interview, Lookman expressed admiration for the French striker, acknowledging his place among the world’s elite.
“Mbappé has proven himself to be among the best in the world, but the striker role means there is constant pressure to score and deliver exceptional performances. When that doesn’t happen, uncertainty sets in,” Lookman remarked.
Mbappé, who marked his Real Madrid debut with a goal against Atalanta during the European Super Cup in August, has recently faced challenges in maintaining his typically stellar performances. A dip in confidence, both individually and within the team, has sparked discussions about his form.
Reflecting on these fluctuations, Lookman emphasised the highs and lows that inevitably accompany the career of a world-class forward.
Despite acknowledging Mbappé’s recent struggles, the Atalanta star remains cautious, recognizing the Frenchman’s ability to rebound swiftly and regain his best form.
