Meanwhile, Atalanta have won the Coppa Italia only once in the past, during the 1962/63 season, having finished as runners-up on four occasions.

Gian Piero Gasperini’s side are also in the final of the UEFA Europa League and will relish the chance to win a double if they are able to get past highly flying Bayern Leverkusen on Wednesday, May 22 at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.

However, Coppa Italia final is the first time Lookman will be playing in the final of a competition at club level.
