Ademola Lookman made an instant impact at his new club on Thursday night, finding the back of the net on his Atlético Madrid debut away at Real Betis.
The Nigerian forward opened his Atlético account within the first 30 minutes of the encounter, capping a lively start to the match and announcing his arrival in Spanish football in style. His early goal helped settle the visitors as they pushed for control at the Benito Villamarín Stadium.
Lookman’s debut strike comes just days after completing his move from Italian side Atalanta to Atlético Madrid, a transfer that generated excitement among fans eager to see how the Super Eagles star would adapt to Diego Simeone’s system.
The 26-year-old wasted no time justifying the faith shown in him, showing composure and sharpness in front of goal despite having only recently joined his new teammates.
Thursday’s performance adds to Lookman’s growing reputation as a decisive attacker and sets an encouraging tone for his Atlético Madrid career as the season progresses.
