Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini has said he did not mean to offend Ademola Lookman after his controversial comments on the Nigerian’s penalty-taking ability, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

Speaking at a news conference on Saturday, Gasperini insisted his post-match criticism following their Champions League exit to Club Brugge was not meant to be offensive.

“It had an extraordinary impact, everything that came afterwards… mine was not meant to be an offensive sentence,” Gasperini said.

The Italian tactician had labelled Lookman “one of the worst penalty takers” he had ever seen after the Nigerian forward missed from the spot in their 3-1 defeat to Brugge, which saw them eliminated 5-2 on aggregate.
