Things are far from certain for Paulo Fonseca at AC Milan, as the Portuguese manager navigates a mixed beginning to life at San Siro.

After a slow start, Fonseca enjoyed some significant highs in recent weeks such as a Milan derby victory, only to have his future again thrown into doubt following back-to-back defeats.

Nice 1-1 PSG

Paris Saint-Germain remain unbeaten in Ligue 1 this season, thanks to a second-half equaliser from Portuguese full-back Nuno Mendes in their trip to Nice on Sunday evening.

The champions fell behind in the 38th minute when Ali Abdi’s shot was deflected past Gigi Donnarumma, but Mendes scored his first of the season to ensure PSG avoided defeat at the Allianz Riviera.

It was a strong day for Portuguese performances in the Premier League on Saturday. The headline story is Liverpool are still top of the standings, after Diogo Jota’s first-half goal gave them a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Meanwhile, there was a first goal for former Liverpool man Fabio Carvalho in a Brentford shirt, as the Bees stormed to an impressive 5-3 home victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

RB Leizpig 2-3 Juventus

Francisco Conceição scored in the second successive match for Juventus, but his winner for the Bianconeri at RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday was a far more special moment for the Portuguese.

Conceição opened his Juve account at the weekend with the third goal in a 3-0 win at Genoa, and he was rewarded by being called first from the bench when manager Thiago Motta was forced into a 12th minute change in Germany. The faith was repaid, as the former Porto man struck with a superb individual goal to give 10-man Juve what had seemed an unlikely win.
