Adempola Lookman could have grabbed the headlines, but for his profligacy, as Atletico Madrid and Arsenal played out a pulsating 1-1 draw in their Champions League semi-final first-leg clash at the Wanda Metropolitano.
The Super Eagles’ ace played the entire duration and was Atletico’s most dangerous attacker, picking up advantageous positions; however, his shooting left a lot to be desired.
Lookman missed two of the three big chances the Rojiblancos managed to generate, firing tame shots at David Raya, and skied two more shooting attempts.
Still, a Julian Alvarez penalty in the 56th minute ensured Diego Simeone’s side avoided going into the second leg with a deficit after Viktor Gyokeres gave the Gunners the lead before half-time.
