Europa League team of the night
Alex Meret
Assured performance from the 21-year-old goalkeeper as Napoli successfully kept Salzburg at bay and took a firm grip on the tie.
Milan Skriniar
Regarded as one of the finest centre-backs in Europe and showed against Frankfurt why Inter face a battle to retain his services.
Kalidou Koulibaly
Jose Mourinho may have lost his way but his identification of top defenders has not deserted him as the showing against Salzburg proved.
