Atalanta’s Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman has earned a nomination for the club’s Goal of the Season award.

The 27-year-old’s nomination stems from two standout strikes: one during Atalanta’s 3-2 UEFA Champions League defeat to Real Madrid and another in a commanding 5-0 Serie A victory over Empoli.

Against Real Madrid, Lookman showcased his flair by scoring Atalanta’s second goal, rifling a powerful shot past goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. According to Football Italia, the goal highlighted his ability to deliver in high-stakes matches against elite opposition.

His second-nominated goal came in the Empoli thrashing, where Lookman displayed technical brilliance. Latching onto a precise pass from teammate Mateo Retegui, he skillfully rounded the goalkeeper before calmly slotting the ball into an open net, a moment described by SempreInter as a “sublime finish” that underlined his composure and flair.

Lookman’s performances in both matches earned him Man of the Match honors, further cementing his reputation as a key figure for Atalanta.

Last season, the former Leicester City and Everton star enjoyed a prolific campaign, contributing 22 goals and five assists in 46 appearances across all competitions, per Transfermarkt data. His versatility and clinical finishing have made him a fan favorite and a vital asset for La Dea.

The Goal of the Season nomination adds to Lookman’s growing accolades, following a 2024-25 season where he has continued to shine in both domestic and European competitions. Fans can vote for his goals on Atalanta’s official platforms.
