What is the ruling on loving (or, more precisely, being infatuated with) European players?
It is not permissible for a Muslim to attach his heart with love to a disbeliever, whether he is a player or otherwise, even if he is the closest relative, because Allah says: ﴿You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred﴾ [Al-Mujadila:22]. Love for the sake of Allah and hatred for the sake of Allah are among the firmest bonds of faith, and pure faith and love for the enemies of Allah and His Messenger cannot coexist. So, it is obligatory for a Muslim that his love and anger be subservient to the love and anger of Allah.
