Chukwueze joins exclusive list of Nigerians to have won UEFA Europa League


Samuel Chukwueze has joined the list of Nigerian players who have the UEFA Europa League after his club Villarreal defeat Manchester United in the 2020-2021 final on Wednesday.

The 22-year-old Nigerian international missed the final due to the ankle injury he suffered in the semi-final against Arsenal, but his mates did well to see off Manchester United in the thrilling contest.

Top scorer Gerrard Moreno put the Yellow Submarines in from on the 29th minutes before Edison Cavani hauled United back into the game with a second-half equalizer.

There was no further goal in the game, but the Yellow Submarines held them to triumph 11-10 in the shoot-out after 120 minutes.

Chukwueze is now the sixth Nigerian to lift the title after

Mikel Obi,

Victor Moses,

Nwankwo Kanu,

Taribo West, and

Chidi Odiah.

It is also the first-ever European title in the history of Villarreal, but UEFA Cup/Europa League title for their coach Unai Emery has been is Fourth trophy.

5. five of the continent's outstanding winners of Europe's secondary club competition


#5 Victor Moses
Moses only truly established himself at Chelsea in the 2016-17 season, when he became a key figure in Antonio Conte’s first team as the Blues won the Premier League title.

It became easy to forget just how peripheral Moses used to be at Stamford Bridge during the previous seasons as he finally made a niche for himself at the club, before eventually being sent out on loan after Conte's departure.

He actually won the Europa League back in 2013, less than a year after signing for the club, playing 10 games and scoring five for the West Londoners en route to the title.

Now on loan at Inter Milan, could he win a second title this year when he contests Friday's final against Sevilla?


#4 Taribo West
West may have burned out too young, but he still enjoyed a successful start to his career, packed with honours and silverware aplenty.

He won the Olympic gold medal with Nigeria, and also featured for the Super Eagles at two World Cups.

He won the French title and two French Cups with Auxerre, but achieved arguably his greatest career success when he clinched the UEFA Cup with Internazionale in 1998.

While Inter won the final comfortably—trouncing Lazio 3-0—West was dismissed in the 82nd minute.


#3 Freddie Kanoute
The only non-Nigerian on this list, Kanoute was a two-time Uefa Cup winner with Sevilla, with whom he enjoyed the finest years of his career.

As well as being the first non-African-born player to win Caf’s African Footballer of the Year award, Kanoute is also the only one of the continent’s stars to have won the Europa League on two occasions, enjoying back-to-back triumphs in 2006 and 2007.

He also won two Spanish Cups during a trophy-laden spell with Sevilla.



#2 John Obi Mikel
One of only two African players to have won both of Europe’s top two continental club competitions when he was part of Chelsea’s Europa League-winning team in 2013.

Mikel had previously featured as the Blues beat Bayern Munich to win the Champions League the year beforehand, but was an unused substitute—along with Moses—as Benfica were defeated 2-1 in Amsterdam a year later.

The Nigeria international enjoyed over a decade of service for the Blues, and recently signed for Stoke City.

#1 Nwankwo Kanu
Kanu became the first African player to win both the Champions League and the Europa League when his Internazionale side thumped Lazio 3-0 in the 1998 final in Paris.

The Nigeria superstar had earlier won the continent’s grandest prize with Ajax, although he was an unused substitute for Inter as they put their Serie A rivals to the sword.

He would come off the bench in the final two years later, as Arsenal were defeated on penalties by Galatasaray.
