The Spanish side delivered when it mattered most, turning on the style in front of their home supporters to seal progression from the knockout tie. Sørloth proved unstoppable in attack, punishing defensive lapses with ruthless finishing to complete his treble and put the contest beyond doubt.
Lookman, introduced at a crucial stage, made an immediate impact. The Nigerian winger provided a well-timed assist that helped seal the victory, underlining his growing influence in Europe’s elite competition. His pace and directness stretched the opposition defence and created the space Atlético needed to finish the job.
After a competitive opening phase, Atlético seized control with disciplined midfield play and aggressive pressing. Their attacking efficiency ultimately separated the two sides, as they capitalised on key moments to swing the tie firmly in their favour.
The result marks another strong European statement from Atlético Madrid, who now shift focus to the round of 16 draw as they continue their quest for continental glory.
For Lookman, the night adds to an impressive Champions League campaign, reinforcing his importance to the squad at a decisive stage of the tournament.
