RED CARD! CELIK SENT OFF
It's all happening! Leao speeds away down the wing and has his heels clipped by Celik. The referee comes over and brandishes a red! That has stunned the home crowd here a bit as they will have to play out the rest of this tie with 10 men.

GOAL! ROMA 2-0 MILAN (DYBALA)
Roma are cruising now! Just as Milan looked to be getting a foothold in the game, the hosts hit on the break.
Lukaku chases a long ball, bounces off Gabbia and tries to put in a cross. It's cut out but only into the path of Dybala, who drops a gorgeous curler into the far bottom corner.

MILAN HIT THE BAR!
So close to an equaliser! A cross is cut out but falls into the path of Loftus-Cheek, who slams a volley into the ground first time and it bounces up and off the woodwork! Huge chance for Milan, who were denied by the woodwork twice in the first leg.

MILAN PUSHING
Leao's effort sails wide and he receives vociferous boos for his efforts. Milan come again and Pulisic swings in a corner which Svilar eventually gathers after some worrying ball-bobbling, but a free-kick had been given to Roma in any case.

HERE COMES THE HAIL
All of a sudden, a spring hailstorm appears to dampen the mood of the Milan players further.

GOAL! ROMA 1-0 MILAN (MANCINI)
Would you believe it, it's Mancini AGAIN! The big centre-back tees up Pellegrini on the edge of the box and the skipper's curler comes off the post, into the path of Mancini for a tap-in! Milan have it all to do now.

NO LUCK FOR ROMA
Roma recycle possession but soon win another free-kick and shift the ball wide. El Shaarawy's cross can't beat the first man though, so the wait for a chance goes on...a tense start to this one.
8'
DYBALA FOULED
Now Milan have the ball in the Roma half as they probe for openings. No luck, and Dybala is then hauled down on halfway as the hosts look to counter.

ROMA STAY STRONG
Smalling gets a good head on that to take it away from Giroud and Roma survive some early pressure.

MILAN CORNER
Pleny of early possession for Roma, but Milan win the game's first corner.

DDR TO CONTINUE
It’s been a big day for Roma coach De Rossi, whose contract extension was confirmed this morning.
Drafted in to replace Mourinho when the Portuguese was sacked in January, the Giallorossi legend has impressed in his short time so far as an interim boss and the club have decided to give him the reins for next season.
“After meeting yesterday afternoon with Daniele De Rossi, we are delighted to announce he will continue as Head Coach of AS Roma after this season and for the foreseeable future,” said a statement from Roma owners Dan and Ryan Friedkin.
"In his short tenure as Head Coach, the positive impact that his leadership has brought to the entire club has told its own story.
"Daniele leads with respect and courage, while his strength and deep-rooted belief in the club are truly aligned with Roma’s values, city and unparalleled fans.”

AC Milan
TOMORI RETURNS FOR MILAN
Milan have received a welcome boost with the return of Tomori from suspension after the former Chelsea man missed the first leg, while Musah is preferred to Reijnders in midfield.
His compatriot Loftus-Cheek starts behind Giroud, while Leao and Pulisic provide plenty of threat from the wings.
Kjaer, Kalulu and Pobega are out injured for the Rossoneri.
