The Europa League returned Thursday evening with 17 matches across the continent, including several heavyweight matchups.
AC Milan hosted Ferencvaros, Juventus traveled to AZ Alkmaar and Celtic faced Besiktas in Glasgow, while Bayer Leverkusen faced Marseille and Real Sociedad faced Lyon.
Here’s how the action unfolded.
AC Milan 0-2 Ferencvaros

Joseph broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute before doubling the visitors’ lead 14 minutes later, consigning Milan to yet another European defeat.
Ferencvaros were reduced to 10 men when Yusuf was sent off in the 77th minute, but the Hungarian side held on for victory.
Real Sociedad 1-1 Lyon
Corentin Tolisso scored a superb second-half equalizer as Lyon came from behind to draw 1-1 with Real Sociedad.
Orri Oskarsson had given the Spanish side the lead in the 28th minute, heading home Ander Barrenetxea’s cross from close range.
However, Tolisso equalized nine minutes after the restart, controlling Tanner Tessmann’s lofted pass on his chest before volleying past Unai Marrero.
Both teams had chances to win it late on, with Lyon goalkeeper Dominik Greif denying Mikel Oyarzabal before Marrero produced a superb save to keep out Tolisso’s header in the 90th minute.
Alkmaar 1-2 Juventus
Juventus beat AZ Alkmaar 2-1 in the Netherlands, with Teun Koopmeiners and Randal Kolo Muani finding the net for the Italian side.
