Super Eagles of Nigeria forward, Ademola Lookman, has expressed his displeasure following Atalanta manager, Gian Piero Gasperini’s criticism in the aftermath of the side’s 3-1 defeat to Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League.
Atalanta lost 3-1 to the Belgian Pro League outfit in the second leg of UEFA Champions League play-off tie on Tuesday night, with the Italian club crashing out of the competition 5-2 on aggregate.
Lookman scored the hosts’ only goal of the game, but also missed a crucial penalty that could have spurred his team on to progress.
Gasperini in his post-match reaction blasted the Nigeria international for stepping up to take the penalty, as he was not the designated spot kick taker.
Lookman said being singled out for his penalty miss “saddens” him.
