“It was a tough match, the first half was very difficult for us, but we fought and on another day might’ve won the game,” Super Eagles of Nigeria forward Ademola Lookman of Atalanta, said in an interview after the match.

“We drew today, but we didn’t lose, so it’s positive. The club had a fantastic 2024, so we want to continue doing the same thing and the new year will be even better.”
