UCL: ‘Great player’ – Solomon Kalou reveals why Lookman didn’t score against Barça
Former Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou has noted that Ademola Lookman was played out of position in Atletico Madrid 2-0 victory against Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday.
He said the Nigerian was deployed to play more defensive role instead of attack in the game and so could not enjoy the match.
He however, voiced his strong support for Lookman, asserting that the forward enjoys the backing of football enthusiasts throughout the continent as he advances in his UEFA Champions League journey with Atletico Madrid.
