Gian Piero Gasperini was full of praise for striker Ademola Lookman and admitted that his own future needs to be resolved very soon. La Dea clinched the first European trophy in the clubs history thanks to a superb hat-trick from Lookman, and speaking post-match, Gasperini lavished praise on the Nigerian international:
“Lookman? He scored three wonderful goals, each more beautiful than the last. He’s an extraordinary player.”
“Koopmeiners and Ederson played excellently. Their performance was crucial for the team’s coverage and launching counterattacks,” he added.
“My future? Tonight we celebrate; tomorrow we talk with the president. The situation will be resolved very quickly.”
