Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman says his team is fully prepared for the UEFA Super Cup clash against Real Madrid, as La Dea aim to build on their recent European success and challenge the Spanish giants for another prestigious trophy.
Atalanta, who secured their first-ever European title with a resounding 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Europa League final, will face the reigning UEFA Champions League holders in Warsaw on Wednesday night.
The match promises to be an enthralling encounter, with Lookman eager to test himself against Carlo Ancelotti’s star-studded squad, which includes new signings Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Vinicius Jr.
“These are the games you dream about as a child, and now the moment has come,” the Nigeria international was quoted by Tribal Football.
“We won the Europa League, and now we’re playing for another trophy. We can’t wait; we are preparing with obsessive attention. So yes, we will be ready!”
The Super Cup clash will also be a chance for Lookman to further establish himself as one of Africa’s top players.
