In Italy, Ismael Bennacer scored to help AC Milan defeat Napoli 1-0 in the first leg of their tie at San Siro, with Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen still nursing an injury.
Osimhen has been on the sidelines since representing his national team at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Guinea last month.
Napoli, whose Zambo Anguissa was shown a red card, will be looking to fight back to complete a comeback when they meet in the second leg next Tuesday at the Maradona Stadium in Naples.
Napoli are runaway leaders in the Serie A this season, and it would give the city great joy to see them advance to the semifinals of the Champions League in the coming days.
