The Spanish defender, who made the move to AS Roma back in January, played 72 minutes in the side's 4-1 win over Eredivisie leaders Feyenoord which meant they made the semi-finals of the Europa League for the second time in three seasons.

Elsewhere across Europe, Augustin netted an 86th-minute equaliser to send FC Basel's Europa Conference League tie against Nice to extra time where Kasim Nuhu scored the 98th-minute winner.
