Ademola Lookman wasted no time, firing home his 100th career goal on debut for Atletico Madrid in a dominant 5-0 Copa del Rey quarter-final thrashing of Real Betis on Thursday, January 5, 2026.
The electric winger struck in the 37th minute, capping a slick counter-attack. He latched onto a cross-field pass inside the box, danced past two defenders with dazzling dribbles, and slotted a cool finish into the keeper’s near post, sealing a 3-0 halftime lead and earning nods as the match’s stunner.
Fresh off a €35 million move from Atalanta on Monday, the 28-year-old repaid coach Diego Simeone’s instant trust with that gem plus a classy assist. It’s his third straight club debut goal, echoing lightning starts at RB Salzburg and Atalanta - now his seventh pro outfit.
Lookman powered Atletico into the semis of a tournament they haven’t claimed in 12 years. Their next foes drop Friday.
