Atalanta football star, Ademola Lookman has finally broken his scoring silence, and he did it with flair, finesse, and flawless timing.
The Nigerian forward on Sunday, May 4, 2025, delivered a thunderous statement in Atalanta’s 4–0 demolition of Monza, putting an emphatic end to his goal drought and reigniting his red-hot reputation in Serie A.
Lookman’s strike — a slick left-footed finish after gliding past his marker — was the third of the match and a decisive blow that not only sealed Monza’s relegation fate but also underlined Atalanta’s top-tier ambitions.
The match was a dominant display from the Bergamo side. Charles De Ketelaere opened the floodgates early with a brace before Lookman stepped up just after the break to extend the lead. Gianluca Scamacca later wrapped things up, but it was Lookman’s long-awaited goal that stood out — his 14th of the campaign, and a new personal best in Italy’s elite league.
More than just a goal, this was a moment of revival. For weeks, Lookman had hovered just outside the scoresheet, drawing defenders, creating space, but not finding the net. This strike shattered that streak — and with scouts from Arsenal, Barcelona, and Juventus reportedly circling, the timing couldn’t be better.
Lookman’s resurgence is now key to Atalanta’s late-season surge. Currently locked in a fierce battle for Champions League qualification, La Dea will need their Nigerian talisman firing on all cylinders — and Sunday’s goal might be the spark he, and they, needed.
With confidence restored and his name once again echoing through Serie A headlines, Ademola Lookman has reminded Europe of his worth. The drought is over. The fire is back. And Atalanta’s Champions League dream just got a powerful boost.
