Ged7WHrXUAE6Wsi

Exciting Ademola Lookman put up another fine performance for Atalanta on Tuesday night when the team locked horns with Real Madrid in the Uefa Champions League.

Despite getting on the scoresheet, it was not enough as his side suffered a 3-2 defeat to the record champions.

Today’s match played at Gewiss Stadium provided a thrilling contest for fans from start to finish.

The visitors, Real Madrid took the lead after just 10 minutes when Kylian Mbappe equalised after he was set up by Brahim Diaz.

Atalanta after going behind mounted a spirited performance in a bid to get back into the game.

Fortunately, the efforts of the team paid off before halftime when Charles De Ketelaere found the back of the net to restore parity just before the break.

After recess, however, Real Madrid scored twice before the hour mark, with goals from Vinicius Jnr and Jude Bellingham taking the game beyond the reach of Atalanta.

Although Ademola Lookman scored in the 65th minute to reduce the defeat, it could not inspire his team to avoid a defeat at home.
