Ademola Lookman delivered another standout display for Atletico Madrid, scoring twice in a 4-1 preseason victory over Getafe on Wednesday as Diego Simeone’s side continued preparations for the 2026/27 campaign, Boldsports report.
The Super Eagles forward struck twice before halftime to give Atletico control of the contest. His latest performance adds to an encouraging start since joining the Spanish club from Atalanta during the winter transfer window. The Nigerian attacker appears to be settling quickly into Simeone’s system and is building momentum ahead of the new La Liga season.
Lookman Leads Atletico’s First-Half Charge
Lookman needed only five minutes to open the scoring. He reacted fastest to a loose ball inside the penalty area and converted the rebound from close range.
The 28-year-old doubled Atletico’s advantage in the 35th minute. He calmly beat goalkeeper David Soria after a well-worked attacking move, giving his side a deserved cushion.
Getafe reduced the deficit five minutes before the break. Alvaro Gutierrez headed home to make it 2-1 at halftime and offer his side hope.
Atletico Finish Strong After the Break
Atletico regained full control in the second half. Arnau Ortiz restored the two-goal advantage before Obed Vargas added the fourth goal to complete a convincing win over their fellow La Liga club.
The result gives Simeone’s team another positive outing as preparations continue for the upcoming campaign.
Lookman’s latest display underlines his growing influence at Atletico Madrid. Two goals in this friendly will boost his confidence as he adapts to his new surroundings and tactical responsibilities.
With the 2026/27 season approaching, the Nigeria international will aim to maintain this level of performance and become a key attacking option for Atletico throughout the campaign.
Lookman’s brace highlighted Atletico Madrid’s dominant display against Getafe and provided another positive sign before the new season. If he maintains this form, the Super Eagles forward could play a major role in Simeone’s attack during the 2026/27 campaign.
