The Mexican also tried his luck with an outrageous rabona shot before half-time which flew over. However, the English Premier League side did not have it all their own way as they reached their first European quarterfinal since 1972.

Olympiakos enjoyed 62% possession and had a goal by Mady Camara chalked off in the 28th minute after a long VAR review for offside against Youssef El Arabi in the build up.

The result sets up a quarterfinal match for Wolves against Sevilla, with the last eight set to be played in four German cities as part of the mini-tournament, with the final on Aug. 21 in Cologne.
