Great defending from Tomori who goes toe to toe with Carrasco and comes out on top. Brilliant.

Oooh, now Kessie has picked up a booking for pulling down Llorente. First of the night!

14´

Diaz lays on the tricks before Tomori goes for goal from distance. This Milan side is oozing confidence right now.

12´

Llorente does well to track Hernandez and make the tackle as the left-back surges into the Atletico half.

The noise inside the ground is deafening.

Atletico shout for handball at the other end as the ball pops up off Tomori´s hand...

Referee Cakir is told by the VAR to have a look but he says no already made his mind up...brilliant refereeing to ignore that and let common sense prevail. Never a pen - except maybe for last year.

8´

Atletico cannot get out of their own hale at the moment and whenever they have the ball there´s a Milan body there to win it back.

The Spanish side have been second best so far...

5´

The short corner is a complete mess and Atletico intercept. But Milan come again quickly...

There´s a real tempo to this game early on...the crowd are making sure of that.

3´

Ibrahimovic watching on from the stands with the kind of imperious glare he´s known for.

AC Milan with the early pressure too as Bennacer turns and surges into the final third...and the home side wins a corner to crank up the volume even more.

The San Siro is buzzing.

1st Half

LET´S GO

Huge letters read ´AC MILAN IS BACK´ in the crowd, and it´s hard to disagree. 2nd in Serie A, unbeaten in 11 league games, back in the Champions League.

After a difficult decade one of Europe´s great clubs is back to their best...

Settle in for a big one.

LAST TIME OUT

AC Milan lost a 3-2 thriller to Liverpool in the first round of matches, going 1-0 behind, then 2-1 ahead, before two more Liverpool goals gave the Reds all three points. But a great show at Anfield showed us all that Milan are back in business.

Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, were held at home to a goalless draw by Porto, with Suarez´s free-kick the closest the hosts came to a win.

So, both clubs looking for a win tonight.

WHO WANTS IT MORE.
