Africans in the Champions League qualifiers: Who's going through?


Ahead of the Champions League third qualifying round second legs, KweséESPN explore which of Africa's stars have the best chance of progression.
Africans in the Champions League qualifiers: Who's going through? In the biggest tie of the round, Nice - the surprise package in Ligue 1 last season - travel to Ajax's newly branded Johan Cruijff ArenA for a showdown with the four-time European champions after a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
The outstanding player of last week's match between the duo was Ivorian midfielder Jean Seri, who ran the show in midfield and delivered the decisive assist - after snaking past Nick Viergever - for Mario Balotelli's opener.
Alassane Plea came off the bench for Les Aiglons in the first leg and, with Balotelli ruled out of the return due to injury, the Franco-Malian could step into a key role up front.
One of Africa's finest midfielders is going to be left disappointed, with Ajax able to call upon Morocco's Hakim Ziyech, as well as Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana.
