Lookman, Atalanta Out Of Champions League Club Brugge Progress To Last 16

Teenage starlet Chemsdine Talbi scored twice as Club Brugge claimed a 3-1 victory away to Atalanta in Italy on Tuesday to win their Champions League play-off tie 5-2 on aggregate and advance to the last 16.

Talbis brace was followed by a superb Ferran Jutgla strike as the Belgians built on their 2-1 win at home in last weeks first leg and advanced to a tie against either Lille or Aston Villa in the next round.

Atalanta had 29 attempts on goal but were punished on the break by the Belgians and Ademola Lookmans reply at the start of the second half was scant consolation.

Lookman also had a penalty saved while Atalanta captain Rafael Toloi was sent off late on, as last seasons Europa League winners bowed out of Europe.

Over the course of the two matches we created more than they did but they made more of their chances, said Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini. But you can only give them credit as theyre a lively team and have a lot of quality.
