The first leg ended 1-1, so with away goals no longer counting for double, it was all decided at the Stade de la Beaujoire. Federico Chiesa, Arkadiusz Milik, Paul Pogba and Fabio Miretti didn’t make the trip, while the hosts had Ignatius Ganago available again after compassionate leave.footballitalia
