The 2025-26 European club season continued across major leagues this past weekend, with multiple actions taking place across several stadiums.
The highly-competitive English Premier League moved into matchday 10, while La Liga reached its 11th round and the German Bundesliga entered matchday nine.
Meanwhile, the French Ligue 1 progressed to its 11th gameweek, and Serie A entered its 10th, with several shifts in the league standings.
In this article, SportPremi takes a look at some of Nigerian players’ performances across the last weekend in Europe’s major leagues;
English Premier League
Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey and Samuel Chukwueze were on the winning side as Fulham ended a four-game losing streak with a 3-0 win over Tolu Arokodare’s Wolves.
Chukwueze returned from an injury lay-off and produced an impressive cameo, while Arokodare could only do little as Wolves winless start to the season continued.
At Selhurst Park, Christantus Uche spent the entire 90 minutes on the bench in Crystal Palace’s 2-0 win over Brentford, who also had Frank Onyeka on the bench.
Elsewhere, Taiwo Awoniyi came on in the second half in Nottingham Forest’s 2-2 draw against Manchester United. Ola Aina, meanwhile, continues his recovery from an injury suffered earlier in the season.
Spanish La Liga
Nigerian duo of Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke both came off the bench, but could not prevent Sevilla from falling to a 3-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.
French Ligue One
Super Eagles midfielder Moses Simon netted the only goal of the encounter as newly-promoted Paris FC recorded a shock 1-0 win over title-chasing AS Monaco.
It marked the former Nantes attacker third goal of the season and increases his goal contributions to five from 11 league matches.
Chidozie Awaziem played the entire 90 minutes for Nantes, as they suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Metz.
Elsewhere, Terem Moffi remains sidelined with injury and was absent in his side’s 1-0 defeat to champions Paris Saint Germain.
Italian Serie A
Gift Orban continued his brilliant start to life with another assist for Hellas Verona, although they suffered an agonizing 2-1 defeat to 2024 champions Inter Milan.
