Atalanta Edge Marseille as Juric Plays Down Touchline Clash With Lookman

Club figures said the dispute was settled in the dressing room.

Overview

  • Lazar Samardzic struck in the 90th minute to seal a 1-0 Champions League win at the Vélodrome.
  • Ivan Juric’s 74th‑minute substitution of Ademola Lookman led to a heated face‑to‑face after the coach grabbed the forward’s arm.
  • Staff intervened on the touchline, and after full time Juric spoke to Lookman again before the player headed to the dressing room.
  • Juric later called the episode a routine substitution dispute resolved in the dressing room, a view echoed by Raoul Bellanova.
  • The flare‑up followed a VAR offside that cancelled a Lookman goal and an earlier saved penalty, while some outlets floated unconfirmed speculation about a January exit.
