Following Atletico Madrid's 2-0 loss to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, Spanish pundit Jesus Colino has slammed Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman's contribution. Lookman entered the match in the 60th minute, replacing Alexander Sørloth, as Atletico manager Diego Simeone aimed to bolster his team's attacking options. However, the forward struggled to make an impact, managing only 20 touches and not registering a shot on goal against the Bundesliga giants.
Colino expressed particular dissatisfaction with Lookman's display, stating that the former Atalanta player lacked the confidence and sharpness needed to trouble Bayern's defense. He called Lookman's performance "lacking confidence" and described him as "unable to manage a single dribble" in AS. Despite the criticism, Lookman is expected to remain in contention for Nigeria's Super Eagles squad for their upcoming 2026 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixtures against Tanzania.
