The second day of the sixth round of the UEFA Champions League took place on Wednesday and featured several Argentine footballists, with Portuguese Benfica's 2-0 victory over Italian Napoli being the main event. According to the Argentine News Agency, the Portuguese team, which includes the albicelestes Nicolás Otamendi and Enzo Fernández (both from the start) and Gianluca Prestianni (who did not get minutes amid rumors linking him to River Plate), achieved a great victory over the Italians to secure their second win in the current edition of the tournament. Nevertheless, the team led by José Mourinho remains out of the playoff qualifying positions with only two matchdays left. On another note, Germany's Bayer Leverkusen achieved a dramatic 2-2 draw against England's Newcastle, with a goal from Spanish Alex Grimaldo in the 43rd minute of the second half. While Exequiel Palacios was not in the squad due to injury, Claudio Echeverri, a midfielder from 'Millonario', came on in the last 5 minutes to replace American Malik Tillman. Former Boca Juniors central defender Aaron Anselmino was a starter in Borussia Dortmund's 2-2 draw against Norway's Bodo Glimt, although he was replaced in the 32nd minute of the second half by Julian Ryerson. Lastly, Spain's Villarreal, with central defender Juan Foyth, lost 3-2 to Denmark's Copenhagen.
