Nigerians have expressed anger and disappointment after a British media outlet, Sky Sports, omitted Super Eagles forward, Ademola Lookman, from a graphic celebrating Atalanta’s Europa League victory.
Lookman made history on Wednesday night by becoming the first player to score a hat-trick in a UEFA Europa League final.
The omission has sparked outrage, with many calling out Sky News for their oversight.
Lookman’s Atalanta stunned Bayer Leverkusen 3-0, ending the Bundesliga champions’ 51-match unbeaten run in all competitions.
This was also Atalanta’s first-ever UEFA Europa League title and their first major title win since 1963.
Lookman was the star of the night, scoring his third goal of the game in the 75th minute.
Sky Sports posted an image on its X handle on Wednesday evening with the caption That Atalanta have WON the Europa League after beating Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the final in Dublin.
However, the image only included Gianluca Scamacca and Teun Koopmeiners
