Former Barcelona midfielder, Sergi Roberto, has warned his old club to be careful of Ademola Lookman and other Atletico Madrid attackers when both sides clash in the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg on Tuesday night at the Spotify Camp Nou.

The Blaugrana were humbled 4-0 by Diego Simeone’s side in the first leg last month.

Lookman was brilliant as he scored and also provided an assist during the encounter.

“We cannot get carried away,” Roberto said via Barca Blaugranes.

“Atletico Madrid is very dangerous on the counter-attack, with top-level players up front who exploit space very well.

“The start of the match is crucial and we need to score as quickly as possible.”

Kwara United technical adviser Suleiman Ashifat has attributed his team’s defeat to injuries.

The Harmony Boys suffered a 3-1 loss against the People’s Elephant at the Enyimba International Stadium, Aba, on Sunday.

Kwara United were struck by injuries to two key players during the warm-up for the game, forcing a tactical adjustment by the technical team.

Suleiman promised that the team would regroup and make amends for the defeat in forthcoming matches.

“We had to change our game pattern a few minutes into the match because two of our regular players, including midfielder Philip Ozor and one defender, sustained injuries during the warm-up,” Suleiman told Kwara United’s media.

“Football is like that sometimes. We will go back, prepare, and regroup for our next game.”
