Peter Olayinka came on in the 52nd to inspire his side but Chelsea maintained their lead to book their semifinal spot against giants killer Frankfurt.

Samuel Chukwueze (Villarreal)

Going down 3-1 at home in the first leg meant the return leg was going to be an almost an impossible task, hence, Samuel Chukwueze who scored in Villarreal last game was rested on Thursday.

Samuel Chukwueze was subbed on in the second half for Villarreal as they lost 1-0 at Estadio Mestalla on Thursday.
