Ademola Lookman has admitted that Atlético Madrid face a stern challenge against Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey final.
The Red and Whites are chasing their 11th Copa del Rey title as they prepare to battle Sociedad at the Estadio de La Cartuja on Saturday night.
Atlético last lifted the trophy in the 2012/13 season, when they defeated city rivals Real Madrid in the final.
Manager Diego Simeone will lead his side into the clash in high spirits following their midweek UEFA Champions League victory over Barcelona.
