Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman and Atalanta manaager Ivan Juric appeared to clash after the 28-year-old was substituted in Atalanta’ UCL win against Marseille.
Juric seemed to take offence to something Lookman said as he passed him after he was taken off in the 75th minute, grabbing the player before another member of staff had to separate the two.
As the 28-year-old left the pitch, he could be seen exchanging words and Juric, seemingly annoyed to be substituted. Juric then furiously grabbed Lookman, before CEO Luca Percassi and team-mate Marten de Roon on the bench intervened

After the game, Juric went over to the Nigerian and they exchanged words again.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, it is not known whether that was to smooth things over or continue the dispute.
