The stage is set in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as Atalanta and Inter Milan gear up for an electrifying semi-final clash in the Supercoppa on Thursday night. With both teams hungry for silverware, Atalanta will pin their hopes on Nigerian star Ademola Lookman to lead them to glory.

Lookman has been a standout performer for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side this season, proving to be a nightmare for opposition defenses. The 26-year-old forward boasts an impressive 11 goals and six assists in just 20 appearances across all competitions, making him one of Serie A's most dynamic attackers.

However, Atalanta faces a daunting challenge. Inter Milan dominated their last encounter, delivering a resounding 4-0 victory in September. Simone Inzaghi's men will be keen to repeat that performance and cement their place in the Supercoppa final.

For Lookman and his teammates, tonight’s game marks their first outing of 2025. The new year presents a fresh opportunity for revenge and redemption, and the Bergamo-based club will look to channel their underdog spirit against the Nerazzurri’s formidable lineup.

In the other semi-final, two Italian heavyweights, Juventus and AC Milan, will lock horns, promising another thrilling chapter in the competition.

Stay tuned as the drama unfolds in Riyadh, where Lookman’s brilliance could be the key to Atalanta’s Supercoppa dreams.
