The former Arsenal number one left the pitch in tears after
44 minutes of a quarter-final first-leg tie that Juventus won 1-0.
But Juventus quickly reported that the Poland international
was well, posting on Twitter: “After a first check, everything is OK for Tek
(Szczesny).”
Juventus secured a narrow lead to take to Portugal next week
when Federico Gatti struck from close range after 73 minutes.
Manchester United threw away a commanding lead against
Sevilla as late Tyrell Malacia and Harry Maguire own goals saw the first leg
end in a chaotic 2-2 draw.
Marcel Sabitzer’s quick-fire first-half brace put United in
control and Antony shook the woodwork as they sought a deserved third.
But United lost their way in the final quarter and Sevilla
halved the deficit six minutes from time when Malacia ended up turning former
Manchester City player Jesus Navas’ cross into his own net.
Maguire then diverted Youssef En-Nesyri’s off-target header
past David De Gea in the second minute of stoppage time.
There was more bad news for United with injuries forcing off
centre-backs Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, with particular concern for
the latter who pulled up in agony with no opponent around him and had to be
helped from the field.
Jose Mourinho’s Roma came unstuck with a 1-0 defeat away to
Feyenoord.
Mats Wieferr provided the winner after 53 minutes, driving
Oussama Idrissi’s left-wing cross into the ground from 20 yards but with enough
power to beat Roma goalkeeper Rui Patricio.
Roma, who lost England striker Tammy Abraham to a shoulder
injury, were left to rue Lorenzo Pellegrini’s first-half penalty miss when the
Italy midfielder struck a post.
Bayer Leverkusen and Union Saint-Gilloise shared a 1-1 draw,
Florian Wirtz equalising eight minutes from time after Victor Boniface had put
the Belgian visitors ahead just after the interval.
West Ham drew their first leg of their Europa Conference
League quarter-final in Gent 1-1.
Danny Ings converted Jarrod Bowen’s cross on the stroke of
half-time for his first European goal of his career.
But West Ham had to soak up Gent pressure in the second half
and Hugo Cuypers’ thumping 56th-minute finish was the least the Belgian hosts
deserved.
Anderlecht boosted their hopes of meeting the winners of
that tie in the semi-final as Michael Murillo and Majeed Ashimeru scored in a
2-0 home victory over AZ Alkmaar.
In the same competition Terem Moffi struck twice for Nice in
their 2-2 draw against Basel in Switzerland.
Zeki Amdouni put Basel ahead from the penalty spot after 26
minutes but Moffi gave Nice a half-time lead. Amdouni’s header 19 minutes from
time levelled matter.
Fiorentina ran out comfortable 4-1 winners at Lech Poznan
with Arthur Cabral, Nicolas Gonzalez, Giacomo Bonaventura and Jonathan Ikone on
target with Kristoffer Velde replying for Poznan.
