Atalanta manager says: ‘I didn’t want to offend anyone’Striker called manager’s comments ‘deeply disrespectful’
Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini said he never intended to offend Ademola Lookman by saying the striker is “one of the worst penalty takers he has ever seen” after their home Champions League defeat by Club Brugge.
Belgian side Club Brugge stunned Atalanta 3-1 in the second leg of their playoff tie to dump the Italian side out with a 5-2 aggregate win and reach the last 16. Lookman, Atalanta’s hero last season when they won the Europa League, pulled back one goal for the Italian side when they were 3-0 down.
