Free kick to Atletico. Miranda to launch it towards that visiting penalty area.

STAT: Milan's last four away defeats in European competition have all come on Spanish turf. The Rossoneri were beaten 3-1 at Barcelona in this season's group stage, following two other defeats at the Nou Camp and a loss at Malaga in the previous two seasons.

GOAL! Atletico 1-1 Milan. A superb move ends with Kaka meeting Poli's right-wing cross with a firm far-post header. Milan are back in it. (Atletico lead 2-1 on aggregate).

21'
The home crowd in buoyant mood. The Atletico supporters fancy themselves as real dark horses this season - and why not?

18'
STAT via OptaPaolo: Diego Costa's goal is the second fastest goal conceded by AC Milan in the #UCL (behind Litmanen's in 1994).
17'
Balotelli is gesturing to his teammates in frustration, but not sure who he is blaming for that shot. It was tame to say the least.

Balotelli steps up and drills a shot straight into the wall. A poor effort from a ridiculous distance from the Italy striker.
15'
Miranda brings down Balotelli 40 yards from the Atletico goal. Free kick to the visitors.

Milan regain some composure and avert the danger from the corner.
