Atalanta co-owner, Stephen Pagliuca claimed head coach, Gian Piero Gasperini ‘made a mistake’ with his comments about Ademola Lookman. Gasperini publicly criticised Lookman for missing a crucial penalty in La Dea’s 3-1 home defeat to Club Brugge last week.

Ademola Lookman has refused to answer if the rift with Atalanta manager, Gian Piero Gasperini has been sorted. Gasperini blasted Lookman for missing a penalty in La Dea’s home loss to Club Brugge last week Tuesday.

Gian Piero Gasperini admits Atalanta are challenging for the Scudetto after moving to within three points of new leaders Inter, but shrugs off the Ademola Lookman controversy. ‘We are all professionals.’ It has been a tense week for La Dea, who crashed out of the Champions League play-offs against Club Brugge.
