What fans said

Following Arsenal's historic triumph,  which officially booked the North London club's ticket to the Budapest final, fans criticised the 28-year-old Nigeria international for delivering a feckless and invisible performance in the second leg at the Emirates Stadium. 

Social media was quickly flooded with harsh evaluations of Lookman's lack of attacking threat, completely failing to replicate the dangerous presence he provided during the first leg.

Supporters highlighted his inability to bypass Mikel Arteta’s defensive structure or create any meaningful opportunities when Diego Simeone’s side desperately needed a decisive offensive spark to salvage their European campaign before he was ultimately yanked off before the hour mark.

Trophyless season for Lookman

This bitter disappointment is further compounded by the grim reality that the forward is now mathematically guaranteed to finish his debut half-season in Spain trophyless.

Having already suffered a painful defeat in the Copa del Rey final weeks ago, Lookman’s inability to propel Atlético past Arsenal confirms a barren campaign for the Spanish giants.
