It is no longer news that Liverpool – after 30 long years – are the champions of England, PSG are the conquerors yet again in France, and Bayern Munich have been crowned kings in Germany.
But while the title races in the Premier League, Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga have all been decided, several top leagues and second divisions in Europe are far from being over.
Nigerian stars have been fully involved in some of these title run-ins with Emmanuel Dennis and David Okereke lifting the Belgian championship with Club Brugge. At the same time, Joe Aribo and Umar Sadiq were not so lucky in Scotland and Romania, respectively, as they ended as runners-up.
With football fully back across the continent after the coronavirus hiatus, Soccernet.ng brings you some other Nigerians who are still challenging for league honours across Europe.

On-loan Chelsea forward Victor Moses came off the bench to inspire Antonio Conte’s men to a much-needed 2-1 win at Parma over the weekend.
Even with that victory, Inter Milan remain eight points behind league leaders Juventus, but a defeat would have certainly squashed their slim Serie A title hopes.
Internazionale boast the league’s joint-third most prolific attack as well as its third-best defence. Still, Moses – who has contributed two assists in six games – and his colleagues have to do even better to overtake Juventus as the best team in Italy.
