Lookman Promises Atalanta Fans a Better 2025 After a Successful 2024 Season
Ademola Lookman has vowed that 2025 will bring even better results for Atalanta, following their impressive achievements in 2024.
Under the management of Gian Piero Gasperini, Atalanta made history by winning the UEFA Europa League and currently sits at the top of Serie A, chasing their first-ever Scudetto.
In their final match of 2024, Atalanta played out a 1-1 draw with Lazio.
Lookman, who provided the assist for the visitors’ only goal, was named Man of the Match for his performance.
Reflecting on the year, the Nigeria international shared his optimism for the future, telling Sky Sport Italia.
“2024 has been a fantastic year for the club, and we want to keep that momentum going. The New Year will be even better.”
Lookman also discussed the tough nature of the match against Lazio, noting, “The first half was very difficult for us, but we fought hard.
On another day, we could have won, but a draw is still positive because we didn’t lose.”
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
