“We will be ready” – Europa League final hat trick hero excited to take on Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup

Super Eagles and Atalanta forward, Ademola Lookman Olajade, has revealed his side are prepared for whatever Real Madrid might throw at them in the UEFA Super Cup final, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 26-year-old turned up the heat in his side’s clash against Leverkusen in the UEFA Europa League final, putting three past Xabi Alonso’s men, who’d just come off the back of the Bundesliga triumph and were unbeaten in 51 games.

Despite being under pressure for most of the game, Real Madrid, in the UEFA Champions League final, secured a comfortable 2-nil win over Borussia Dortmund in Wembley and were crowned European Champions for the 15th time.

Since then, Los Blancos have parted ways with Spanish duo – Nacho Fernandez and Joselu but have shored up in attack, bringing in Endrick and Kylian Mbappe.

Speaking to Tribal Football, Lookman remained confident in his side’s ability to contain whatever the blistering Madrid attack might offer on Wednesday.

“Wonderful, these are the games you want to play since you were a child. Finally, the moment has come: we won the Europa League, and we will now play for another trophy. We can’t wait. We are preparing with obsessive attention. So yes, we will be ready! We don’t need great motivation; we will face a top team, and it’s an appointment with history. They are the greatest football team in the world, and it will be an exciting chapter and opportunity for everyone,” the former Leicester City winger said.

The pair face off at the Stadion Narodowy in Poland on Wednesday, with kick-off set for 8 pm, Nigerian time.
