Speaking about Lookman, Simeone said: He’s a grown man, 28 years old, and he came here to help the team.
We also hope to support him so he can continue to grow. Ademola has qualities that are different from the players we already have, and those differences will make us stronger as a team.
Thursday’s performance adds to Lookman’s growing reputation as a decisive attacker and sets an encouraging tone for his Atlético Madrid career as the season progresses.
