Important victories in Tuesday night’s Champions League for Juventus and Napoli, who, albeit in different ways, bring home the three points and get back on track for qualification to the knockout stage.

At the Diego Armando Maradona (on the fifth anniversary of the death of the legendary Argentine), it took the partenopei more than an hour to unlock the result against Qarabag.

Kochalski denied a memorable backhanded goal to Neres while Di Lorenzo wasted a much easier opportunity to materialize but in the second half, after a missed penalty by Hojlund, McTominay at 65′ unlocked the result with a header before propitiating Jankovic′ s unfortunate own goal for the 2-0 that sealed the score.

More pyrotechnic was Juventus’ 3-2 win in Norway.

Bodø/Glimt took an early lead through Blomberg on the development of a corner, but Openda and McKennie reversed the result in the opening half.

Everything happened in the finale, however: just before the recovery Bodø equalized the score on a penalty kick by Fet, but at 91′ David, back in goal after three months, signed the breakaway success in Europe.
