Last night, the Reds drew 1-1 after 90 minutes in Riyadh and won 4-3 on penalties.

It’s a strange blow for Bologna, who had already missed the Italian Super Cup after Remo Freuler fractured his collarbone at the start of November.
So far this season, Bernardeschi has made 22 appearances for the Reds and Blues, scoring 4 goals in Serie A, Europa League, Super Cup and Italian Cup.
