AC Milan, winner of Napoli 1-0 in the first leg, qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League by going to draw 1-1 in the return. The Algerian international is largely part of this performance and writes his name in the history book of national football.
Bennacer is the sixth Algerian player to qualify for the last four of the C1, after Rabah Madjer, Ali Benarbia, Houssem Aouar, Riyad Mahrez and Aïssa Mandi.
