Ademola Lookman made history in the 2024 UEFA Europa League final, scoring a stunning hat-trick to lead Atalanta to a 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen. This win marked Atalanta’s first major European trophy, ending a decades-long wait for silverware. Lookman’s goals, scored in the 12th, 26th, and 75th minutes, showcased his composure, skill, and clinical finishing, with highlights including a brilliant long-range strike after a nutmeg on Granit Xhaka.

His performance earned him the Man of the Match award and a rare 10/10 rating from L'Équipe, an honor given to only 18 players in history. Lookman also became the first player since 1969 to score a hat-trick in a one-legged European final, etching his name into football history.
