Samuel Chukwueze was in action for AC Milan who lost 1-0 at Feyenoord in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League play-offs tie on Wednesday night.
The Super Eagles winger came on in the 60th minute but could not affect the outcome of the match.
It was Chukwueze’s sixth appearance in the Champions League this season, the fifth as a substitute, with one assist.
Igor Paixao scored the only goal of the game just three minutes into the encounter.
