Ademola Lookman will be aiming to break his goal drought against Arsenal when Atlético Madrid take on the Gunners in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final clash on Tuesday night.
The highly anticipated encounter will be played at the Emirates Stadium, with both sides still level after a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
Despite his attacking influence, Lookman has struggled to make a direct impact against Arsenal, failing to register a goal or assist in six previous meetings.
However, the Nigerian forward showed promise in the first leg, recording four shots, including two on target, signaling a potential breakthrough performance.
