Atalanta officially won the 2023/2024 Europa League after a convincing 3-0 win over Leverkusen in the final match that took place early on May 23. Striker Lookman scored a hat-trick for Atalanta in the 12th, 26th and 75th minutes.
With a hat-trick against the German representative, the Nigerian striker made history in the tournament. Specifically, Lookman is the first African player to score 3 goals in a Europa League final (the predecessor of the UEFA Cup).
Lookman's hat-trick for Atalanta was the sixth hat-trick scored in a European Cup final, and the first since Jupp Heynckes scored three for Borussia Monchengladbach in the 1975 UEFA Cup.
Lookman has been impressive for Atalanta this season. The Nigerian striker has contributed 15 goals and 8 assists in 43 appearances across all competitions, helping Atalanta to excel in Serie A and win the 2023/2024 Europa League.
The 2023/2024 Europa League title is the first European Cup title that Atalanta has won in the 116 years since the club was founded. Atalanta also became the first Italian team to win the championship in this arena since Parma won the title in the 1999 season.
