The team under Gian Piero Gasperini are full of belief this season as they are currently at the top of the Italian Serie A table after a 2-1 win over AC Milan, their ninth straight league win, as noted by Opta Paolo.
The Bergamo-based fans are already dreaming of winning the Scudetto, which assistant manager Tullio Gritti admitted they are right to be optimistic.
Lookman rates Atalanta's title chances
Super Eagles forward Lookman is one of the players at the forefront of Atalanta’s charge and scored the winning goal against AC Milan to help them ascend to the top of the table.
In an interview quoted by FC Inter News after his 87th-minute header won their last game against Milan, he embraced the possibility of La Dean winning their first-ever Scudetto.
“Everything is possible, but we think game by game. This is the right mentality. The team is showing all its strength. The important thing is that we won the game, even if at some moments I felt frustrated,” he said.
If they win, it would be Atalanta’s first-ever title, while Lookman will become the fifth Nigerian to win it after Obafemi Martins, Taribo West, Victor Moses and Victor Osimhen.
