Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman will face a familiar foe on Tuesday as Atletico Madrid host Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 first leg at the Wanda Metropolitano. The match marks an interesting clash between two sides who have previously competed against each other in different competitions, with Lookman's former side PSV Eindhoven having faced Spurs in the Europa League. Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing Champions League exit last season. The first leg is set to be a crucial and highly anticipated encounter.
