Ademola Lookman was playing for Waterloo FC in the Sunday League in 2013. 11 years later, he becomes the first player to score a hat-trick in the Europa League ending Bayer Leverkusen’s undefeated streak. Incredible 👏 https://s3a.sofifa.net/53da6ff8a16cf566a9f69d7c3ec99e9aa6e551c3.jpg

The boy from Peckham, hitting a hat-trick in the Europa League. For years he was told no by clubs. Star of his Sunday league team yet no academy wanted to take him. A humble lad who grew up on an estate where football is all he knew. He would see his friends and others get scouted but he never lost hope. Charlton’s Under-16s were approaching the end of their season but, such is the nature of academy football, they had a spare week with no game. It was decided the youngsters would play a friendly against London FA, a side constructed of players from various Sunday league clubs in the local area, at the Addicks’ Sparrow Lane training ground. Steve Avory, Charlton’s academy manager, took a stroll from his office to watch the game. But it wasn’t until the introduction of a fleet-footed 16-year-old that Avory’s interest was peaked. He spent the rest of the game mesmerized, as his full-back was twisted inside and out. At the final whistle, he made a beeline and introduced himself to Ademola Lookman, a forward who had come from amateur side Waterloo FC. The rest is history….. https://s3a.sofifa.net/22c8f5137b3afe56c371807b170c00a9a7a6ba97.jpg

People aren't giving Atalanta enough respect, the obliterated Liverpool and Bayer in this competition, their organization and press was unbelievable.

Same vibe https://s3a.sofifa.net/bcfaf259bf7e12e678499707b0f70d194c67c134.jpg

Well they remember it now

much needed reality check for xabi. he's gonna win it some time in the future anyways, gg to leverkusen for this amazing season

So if they win their domestic cup it’s redeemed according to you? The invincibles didn’t win the ucl so I guess that doesn’t matter either

And? They won't win it

Couldn't do it on a Cold Night at Lansdowne Road 💪🚬

Nice troll but try again next year

Leverkusen went from Neverlusen back to Vizekusen again 😭 But jokes aside now, even without the EL trophy it's a very very impressive season. Invincible Bundesliga run and (maybe) the DFB Pokal in 3 days as well. Nobody would have expected Leverkusen to win the double or even compete for it or even the triple before the start of the season. Hats off to Xabi Alonso.

Still clearly a good team idk why yall trolling cause half y’all’s clubs ain’t winning shit either

They're still bigger than you dawg

It's one game https://s3a.sofifa.net/4013d9703c4fccc752eb589a3e5323d75996b327.jpg

Of course you need luck when you have 51 games unbeaten streak but against rome it was unlucky for us to go down two goals when rome had no chances and just 2 lucky penalties. Only retards from the premierleague underrate the Serie A. I think we all agree that the Bundesliga, La Liga and Seria A are top leagues and are on the same level

Serie A is so underrated. Atalanta tonight fully deserved the win. BTW your season guys is still absurdly good, but I got criticized for saying that this team was getting a bit lucky with some episodes, and the return leg vs Roma hinted at that. Almost bottling a 2-0 advantage at home and managing to get an own goal from the opposition on the 83'. Tonight I still saw a good team tho, which undoubtedly will pose a serious challenge in the UCL next season.

A good learning point for Alonso. No doubt he’ll learn from his mistakes and this match as a whole and use it to improve going forward.

Abolished trophy, UEFA Cup is still Europa League just rebranded

They got an Europa League before

Banter aside I feel bad for you guys, you honestly deserve a treble. Yet you're still bigger and have better invincible season than Arsenal tho

Only trolls and coke addicts really mean the “Xabiout”

People before Alonso lost his first match of the season: he’s a the best manager! Real Madrid DNA!!! People after Alonso lost his first match: #alonsoout, he’s nothing. He should leave leverkusen

Fine, good luck surviving your next public shooting, burger merchant

American Ball knowledge at its best Atalanta were so clear of Leverkusen tonight. That doesnt Change the fact Bayer are having an amazing season, but to call Atalantas victory anything else than deserved is borderline ridiculous

Already signed with chelsea

Is this guy comparing a defensive mid with an attacker? XD

Years and years of eating shit, making calculations not to fail, not to relegate, selling the few decent players we had on the roster. Years spent with idiotic management, with the only goal of living another year, trying not to lose too much money and not to suffer too much. A sad and puny life because it was meaningless. Today we conquered the access to the Champions League, truly deserved, after a season in which the goal was never that but became that game after game, victory after victory. With a team that has identity, finally; that has heart, finally; that has an organized management, finally; that has a project, an idea, a goal to achieve, finally. Anyone who has not been a lifelong Bologna supporter, anyone who has not been born with red and blue in their veins, cannot really understand what it means to experience this night and this situation. My heart is bursting with joy, I love you all so much. I am so fortunate to have witnessed this season, and I am so proud to have been able to go to the stadium with my father, a lifelong fan, who finally got to see his team where he had seen it as a child. We are back, LO SQUADRONE CHE TREMARE IL MONDO FA

https://s3a.sofifa.net/a7b0be050bcf3d309aae5fd1c6b362d2819d71d8.png Everynight I dream about your smile, and Bologna in Europe We did it fam

The team i rooted for has been a mid-table team fighting for relegation for as long as I can remember, but now it's different. Before this season started I was hoping that we would manage to get a spot in the Conference League, I NEVER thought that this team would manage to play in the Champions League, but they did it. After 60 years we will be playing the highest level of European competitions, so for now I'll just enjoy the moment. FORZA BOLOGNA SEMPRE!!

I'm not saying that Lazio is a bad team, I'm saying that this Bologna side is capable of doing the same thing

Ain't no way premtards started using the "underrated rating" card oml😭😭

Its so good to see PL teams in the mud

STUPID COMMENT BY IFINDSTUPIDCOMMENT

Xavi needs to start playing this guy more instead of washed up lewandowski. I see a lot of potential.

yes look.. *bicicle kick* 😎🥱

But one in the first division, don't get your hopes up.

Said this before and saying this again that he is one of the best CBs of our Generation and still going Strong , He deserves way more respect

Hey, put some respect on girona They only spent 20 milion with a 7 mil being thier most expencive Also lost romeu and other star players Still people call it a oil club

Oi! Stop trying to sell our best defender!

i said this before on here but earlier in the season i met him in lidl or tesco i forgot and spoke to him about getting promoted and how hes liking it in ipswich, he said he absolutely loves it here and its so so completely different to working anywhere else, was also saying how he thought we'd get promoted but to stay patient and trust the process apart from that hes such a sound and nice guy he really deserves the success hes getting. https://s3a.sofifa.net/134bdff889e2ffa22c7521734b2c9f7757e07422.jpg

him getting loaned out to Atalanta was one of the transfers of all time

I'd be happy if you overtake juve

From battling it out for promotion to the Premier League….. to a battle to win the Champions League! All in a year Wonderful player, joy to watch. I hope Dortmund permanently signs him. 79/87

This kind of man is the reason why Germany got 4 world cups before becoming woke

Give Niclas Focke-Wulf one kind of respect . Real old school striker 🫶

Real german panzer, only worldclass old school striker left in the world

Nothing like Rashford

What a game he is having contributing in defense also Loredana would be proud

Water is wet

He’s like Mahrez but with worse shooting, he’s still not back to his old self consistently but if he leaves United he definitely can be
