Lookman Shines in Atalanta’s Win as Gasperini Claims Manager of the Month Award
Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini and winger Ademola Lookman proudly showcased their recent accolades before their team’s Serie A clash with Empoli on Sunday night.
Gasperini, who has been at the helm of Atalanta since 2016, was recently named Serie A Manager of the Month for his exceptional leadership, guiding the team through a successful run in the league.
Meanwhile, Lookman, the Nigerian international who has been in fantastic form, was awarded the prestigious African Footballer of the Year title just last week, cementing his status as one of the continent’s brightest talents.
The duo’s celebrations were made even sweeter when Atalanta secured a thrilling 3-2 victory over Empoli.
Lookman was once again instrumental in the win, scoring Atalanta’s second goal in a match that showcased the team’s attacking flair and resilience.
So far this season, Lookman has been in excellent form, with 11 goals and 5 assists in 19 appearances across all competitions, a testament to his growing influence in Atalanta’s attacking setup.
His performances have been a key factor in the team’s impressive run in Serie A, where they’ve now won their last 11 league games.
Atalanta’s success this season has made them one of the standout teams in Italy, and Lookman’s performances have certainly added to the excitement surrounding the club.

Shearer Predicts Arsenal, Liverpool, and Man City to Win This Weekend in Premier League Matches
As the Premier League season nears its end, the fixtures are coming thick and fast.
Liverpool could take a big step towards the title with a win at Fulham this weekend. But before that, their rivals Everton could help them out by hosting Arsenal on Saturday.
The weekend’s highlight is undoubtedly the Manchester Derby at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer shared his predictions with Betfair, saying, “Everton vs Arsenal – Arsenal need this win to put pressure on Liverpool, so I’m going for a narrow Arsenal victory. Prediction: Arsenal win.”
For Brentford vs Chelsea, he went for a draw, adding, “I’m playing it safe with this one. Prediction: Draw.”
On Fulham vs Liverpool, Shearer said, “Fulham have been impressive, but Liverpool will have too much for them. Prediction: Liverpool win.”
And for the Manchester Derby, he predicted a Man City win, commenting, “It’s been a tough season for Ruben Amorim, so I’m backing Man City. Prediction: Man City win.”
Cristiano Ronaldo is 69 goals away from reaching the 1,000-goal milestone. However, the Al Nassr striker insists he’s not focused on that achievement.
After scoring twice in Al Nassr’s 3-1 victory over Al-Hilal on Friday, Ronaldo emphasized that he’s more focused on the present moment than chasing records.
“Let’s enjoy the moment, lads. I’m not chasing 1,000 goals,” Ronaldo said after the match. “If it happens, great. If not, that’s fine too. What matters most is the moment, not what’s ahead.”
With 30 goals in all competitions this season, Ronaldo needs to maintain his current form for another couple of years to reach the 1,000-goal mark.
Everton midfielder Amadou Onana has named Mohamed Salah as a top contender for this year’s Ballon d’Or, calling the Liverpool star the toughest opponent he’s ever faced.
Salah is having one of his best seasons yet, leading the Premier League’s goal-scoring chart with 27 goals and topping the assist table with 17. With 32 goals in 44 appearances this season, he’s averaging nearly a goal per match.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Onana was asked about the hardest player he’s gone up against. While he didn’t face Salah directly in a one-on-one battle, he had high praise for the Egyptian forward.
“He’s the main man for Liverpool right now,” Onana said. “He’s quick, sharp, skilled, and has the finishing ability. He has everything.”
Onana also added that if Salah continues his form, this could very well be his Ballon d’Or season.
