Atalanta's Ademola Lookman has urged his teammates to be at their best as they face a daunting task against undefeated Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final tonight.

The German champions are on a 51-game unbeaten streak across all competitions this season.

"It's a massive occasion for us, and we need to be at the top of our game," Lookman told the club's website.

"We know we're up against a top team, but we've shown this season that we can play top football to the best of our abilities."

Lookman, who has scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist in 10 Europa League appearances, will be looking to outshine his Super Eagles teammates Victor Boniface and Nathan Tella, who are chasing a historic treble with Leverkusen.

The final will be held at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.
