Top Italian club AS Roma beat Shakhtar Donetsk 3-0 (1-0), title contender Tottenham Hotspur beat Dinamo Zagreb 2-0 (1-0) thanks to a double from Harry Kane (25th, 70th). The Norwegians from Molde FK, who had beaten TSG Hoffenheim in the previous round, lost to “host” FC Granada 0: 2 (0: 1) in Budapest.
Milan was missing superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic and former Bundesliga pro Ante Rebic, and ManUnited also had to do without supporters like Edinson Cavani, Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba. Initially, the guests were better able to compensate for failures and had opportunities early on. Harry Maguire (38th) had the best opportunity in the first half: hitting the post was much more difficult than putting the ball into the empty goal.
Diallo made up for the missed shot from the English international and headed for the lead. Then Manchester determined the game, but failed to score the second goal. This punished Kjaer.
