Lookman’s goal, a moment of pure class, came in the thrilling 3-2 defeat to Real Madrid on Matchday 6 of the Champions League. 

A precise cross-field pass from Lazar Samardžić found the Nigerian in space. With deft control, Lookman danced past Lucas Vázquez before unleashing a precise right-footed strike.

De Ketelaere’s effort showcased his sharp instincts and finishing prowess in Atalanta’s 3-2 victory. 

Meanwhile, Tommaso Del Lungo’s stunning backheel goal for the U23 team against Padova secured third place, while Andrea Bonanomi’s solo effort in a Primavera match against Juventus rounded out the top four.

This marks Lookman’s first Goal of the Month win for the season, cementing his status as one of Atalanta’s standout players. 

The Nigerian forward has continued to impress with his flair and consistency.
