Ademola Lookman will be hoping to finally break his goal drought against Arsenal FC when Atlético Madrid face the Gunners in the decisive second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final.
The tie remains finely poised at 1–1 after the first leg, with the return fixture set to take place at the Emirates Stadium.
Despite facing Arsenal six times previously, Lookman has yet to register a goal or assist against the North London side. However, the 28-year-old showed promising signs in the first leg, producing an impressive display that included four shots, with two on target.
So far in this season’s Champions League campaign, Lookman has contributed two goals and two assists in seven appearances, underlining his importance to Atlético’s attacking setup.
With a place in the final at stake, the stakes could not be higher. The winner of the tie will advance to face either Paris Saint-Germain or FC Bayern Munich in the final scheduled for May 30 in Budapest.
A big stage, a tough opponent — and a perfect moment for Lookman to make history.
