Week-end des Sénégalais de l’étranger : Nicolas Jackson champion, Bamba Dieng en feu, Yehvann Diouf impérial, Ibrahim Mbaye dans l’impasse

Senegal's international players once again shone this weekend in foreign leagues. From Nicolas Jackson's title win in Germany, to the impressive performances of Bamba Dieng and Yehvann Diouf in France, and Sadio Mané's goal in Asia, the Lions delivered.

The European leagues are slowly drawing to a close. However, Senegalese internationals continue to shine. The standout this weekend was Nicolas Jackson, who won the Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich. In France, Bamba Dieng once again impressed with Lorient. Also in Ligue 1, Yehvann Diouf was outstanding with Nice.

We begin this overview with Matchday 30 of the French Ligue 1, where Bamba Dieng shone for Lorient. The Senegalese international striker was Marseille's tormentor in the Merlus' victory. The former Diambars player provided both an assist and scored a goal.

On the road in Lille, Nice, featuring Yehvann Diouf and Antoine Mendy, secured a valuable point. This performance was largely thanks to their Senegalese goalkeeper, who made several crucial saves.

Le Havre, with its Senegalese contingent of Mory Diaw, Arouna Sanganté, Rassoul Ndiaye, and Issa Soumaré, secured a valuable draw away to Angers (1-1). However, this result was marred by Arouna Sanganté's sending-off for accumulating yellow cards.

Monaco, without Lamine Camara but with Krépin Diatta in the starting lineup, were held to a 2-2 draw by Auxerre. Metz FC, with Habib Diallo as captain, suffered a 3-1 home defeat against Moustapha Mbow's Paris FC. The Senegalese international defender watched his team's victory from the bench.

In the clash of the 30th round, Moussa Niakhaté's Lyon secured a victory at the Parc des Princes against Ibrahim Mbaye's Paris Saint-Germain (1-2). While the Lyon defender started and wore the captain's armband, the young Parisian striker was once again absent from the matchday squad.

At the Félix-Bollaert stadium, Lens, with Abdallah Sima remaining on the bench, overturned Toulouse, featuring Pape Demba Diop (3-2).

In England, on matchday 33, Everton, featuring Iliman Ndiaye and Gana Gueye, lost the Merseyside derby to Liverpool (1-2). The Senegalese striker thought he had opened the scoring in the 28th minute, but his goal was disallowed for offside after a VAR review.

Habib Diarra's Sunderland, despite a strong performance, lost 4-3 away to Aston Villa. Tottenham, without Pape Matar Sarr, salvaged a 2-2 draw at home against Brighton. In one of the day's key matches, Chelsea, without Mamadou Sarr, were defeated 1-0 at home by Manchester United. Ismaïla Sarr's Crystal Palace host El Hadji Malick Diouf's West Ham.

In Germany , Nicolas Jackson was crowned champion with Bayern Munich. The Senegalese striker scored a goal, contributing to the Bavarian giants' 4-1 victory over Stuttgart. Young Bara Sapoko Ndiaye, who came on as a substitute for Guerrero in the 76th minute, made his second Bundesliga appearance.

In Turkey , for the 30th matchday, league leaders Galatasaray, with Ismail Jakobs in the starting lineup, secured a 2-1 victory away to Gençlerbirliği SK. The home side's goal was scored by Senegalese international Mbaye Niang.

Samsunspor, with Cherif Ndiaye coming on in the 72nd minute, beat Besiktas (2-1).

In Italy , for the 33rd matchday of Serie A, Comón, with Assane Diao forced off injured in the 60th minute, lost to Sassuolo (2-1). Lazio, with Boulaye Dia coming on in the 62nd minute, held Napoli to a 0-0 draw.

In the all-Senegalese clash, Parma, with Abdoulaye Niakhaté Ndiaye making his return after a five-month absence, defeated Idrissa Gueye's Udinese 1-0. Cremonese, with Mikayil Ngor Faye on the bench, were held to a draw by Torino. Hellas Verona, without Cheikh Tidiane Niasse, lost at home to AC Milan 1-0.

In Belgium , in the third round of the playoffs, Anderlecht, with Ilay Camara on the bench, secured a 2-1 victory away at Mechelen. In the all-Senegalese clash, Union Saint-Gilloise, with Ousseynou Niang remaining on the bench, defeated Club Brugge, whose Mamadou Diakhon came on in the 90th minute.

In Saudi Arabia, the weekend was also marked by the qualification of Al Ahli, featuring Édouard Mendy, and Al Nassr, with Sadio Mané, for the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League. The Lions' striker even scored Al Nassr's fourth goal against Al Wasl (4-0).
