Atalanta, who have been impressive this season, will host the defending champions at Gewiss Stadium, and Muriel believes Lookman could be the key to their success.
The Nigerian winger has been in sensational form for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side, scoring two goals in the Champions League and contributing a total of 10 goals and five assists in 17 appearances across all competitions this season.
His consistency and talent have made him one of the standout players for Atalanta.

The 27-year-old’s performances have certainly caught the attention of his former teammate, and his role in the upcoming clash with Real Madrid is expected to be crucial for Atalanta’s hopes.
