Atlético Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann capped a memorable night with a classy post-match gesture after his side’s 4–0 win over Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg, Soccernet.ng reports.

How Lookman performed vs Barcelona

Lookman was one of Atlético’s standout performers in the 4–0 demolition, registering one goal and one assist on the night.

The Super Eagles winger made it 3–0 in the 33rd minute with a calm finish after being picked out by Julián Álvarez, before later turning provider as the Argentine striker struck again in stoppage time to complete the first-half rout.

With that strike, Lookman has now scored two goals in the Copa del Rey this season since joining Atlético from Atalanta and has helped Diego Simeone’s side take firm control of the tie ahead of the return leg at Camp Nou.
