FutMexNation is back to bring you the latest information on your favorite ‘Extranjeros’. It was a jam-packed week for some of the leagues abroad. Here are the key points you might’ve missed from our favorite Aztecas:
Serie A
Chucky is Back!
After being out for five-weeks, Hirving “Chucky” Lozano is back on the pitch for Napoli. The Gli Azzurri managed to stay competitive during Lozano’s absence, winning five out of their seven matches in all competitions. The Blue’s fortunately regain Chucky’s speed and explosive game play as they approach the final leg of the Serie A season. Lozano entered the game in the 73rd minute after his team maintained a 2-0 lead over Roma. Napoli was able to hold off the ruthless attack of the La Magica by adding three more points this season.

Álvarez Scores!
Edson Álvarez showed no signs of slowing down as he added two more starts and a goal last week. Ajax’s first meeting was against the Young Boys in the final leg of the Europa League Round of 16. Edson played the full 90 minutes and performed a major role in shutting out the Yellow and Black during their 2-0 (aggregate 5-0) win. The Lancer’s second encounter during the weekend was against Den Haag. El Machin got the start once again and played a solid 54 minutes. Ajax dominated their opponents by netting five unanswered goals. Álvarez participated in the onslaught of goals by chipping in the third goal of the competition in the 32nd minute.2u3i4o
