The Giallorossi had a 3-0 first leg lead to protect, but couldn’t take anything for granted against a side that beat Real Madrid and finished above Inter in their Champions League group earlier this season. Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Jordan Veretout, Chris Smalling and Nicolò Zaniolo didn’t make the trip, while Taras Stepanenko, Maksym Malyshev and COVID case Viktor Kornienko missed out for the hosts. It was a return home for ex-Shakhtar coach Paulo Fonseca, even though the game was played behind closed doors, a decision made only last night.
Borja Mayoral blasted over after running onto a long Bryan Cristante pass, while Alan Patrick saw one shot deflected off Gonzalo Villar and another smothered by Pau Lopez.
Junior Moraes turned a towering header inches wide, then Anatolii Trubin sprinted outside his area to clear one-on-one with Mayoral, who had sprung the offside trap on an Amadou Diawara pass.
