Lookman’s final
•
Ademola Lookman became the 17th player in history to receive a 10/10 rating in L'Équipe last night. And more importantly, he helped Atalanta win their first trophy in 51 years. Today, Dotun, Andy and Lars Sivertsen are here to explain how Lookman came this far and what this win means for legendary Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini.
Elsewhere, Andy explains how Sevilla have gone from perennial Europa League winners to the mess of a relegation battle and allegations of match-fixing. Plus, Lyon achieved a miracle at the weekend after qualifying for the Europa League. How did they rescue their disastrous campaign and what should we expect next season?
