[VIDEO]: Ademola Lookman and his mother's heartwarming moment after Atalanta's UEL heroics

A touching video capturing Ademola Lookman's emotional reunion with his proud mother in the aftermath of his Europa League final heroics for Atalanta has gone viral.

The Nigerian forward wrote his name into continental history books by netting a historic hat-trick to fire Atalanta to a 3-0 triumph over Bundesliga Invincibles Bayer Leverkusen in Dublin.

As ecstatic celebrations engulfed the Aviva Stadium, the UEFA Europa League's official Twitter account shared the heartwarming moment Lookman embraced his mother pitch-side.

With screams of joy and gratitude, the proud parent savoured every moment as she tightly hugged her son before the father joined in, himself overcome with emotion after the biggest night of his fledgling career.

The touching clip quickly went viral as Nigerian fans relished seeing one of their own script his name into European soccer's annals with a man-of-the-match display.

Lookman's fairytale rounded off a dream season in Italy, making amends for the Coppa Italia defeat to Juventus at the weekend.

His 15 goals played a crucial role in Atalanta's surprise run to the final, ensuring his legend will be forever etched into the club's history.

But his hat-trick heroics also shattered Bayer Leverkusen's dreams of an unprecedented unbeaten Bundesliga campaign, leaving Nigerian duo Victor Boniface and Nathan Tella as devastated spectators.

While they missed out on continental glory, the images of Lookman celebrating with his mother encapsulated the magnitude of his achievement on a truly unforgettable night.
