Rafael Leão’s mesmerising solo assist helped to add a 1-1 away draw to AC Milan’s UEFA Champions League quarter-final home leg triumph, ending Napoli’s best-ever run in Europe’s premier club competition and sealing a third unbeaten against the Italian champions-elect in just three weeks. Yet, there was just enough time remaining for the hosts to set up a nervous finish, thanks to Osimhen’s bullet header, but Milan saw out the job to set up a tie with Benfica or cross-city rivals Inter in their first UCL semi-final since going all the way in 2007.Real Madrid advanced to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals for the 11th time in the last 13 seasons with a 4-0 aggregate victory over Chelsea, following a 2-0 win on the night at Stamford Bridge.
