Hello and welcome to our live coverage from the San Siro as Milan host Arsenal in the first round of their last 16 Champions League tie.

Can Arsenal bounce back for the FA Cup this weekend, and in their chase for fourth, or will that derail their season? Milan, meanwhile, look a good bet for a place in the final - with players missing, they were pretty, pretty good...

There's the whistle - a proper thumping by Milan over Arsenal.

Pato is in space on the right, he's in but so is Ibra, a cut-back and it's five but Pato shoots, Szczesny saving and Ibra with his head in his hands.

Ramsey finds himself in space down the left but his cross is claimed by Abbiati.

Emanuelson is in acres of space but he plays a strange shot that goes nowhere near goal with Ibra and Ambrosini free.

Two minutes added time.

Another misplaced Hollywood pass from Aaron Ramsey. Goal kick.

Pato takes down a long one but his first touch is shaky and Djourou can shepherd it back to Szczesny.

Good cross from Vermaelen which RvP and Henry can't meet. Arteta is on it now but his ball is wayward and Milan have a free-kick.

Abbiati and Antonini combine to clear the second successive corner but Pato can't get past Djourou. First decent thing he's done since coming on.

Super cross from Oxlade-Chamberlain and Van Persie angles a downward header but a smart low stop from Abbiati.

MILAN SUB: Robinho off, Pato on for six minutes with his side 4-0 up. Nice work if you can get it.

Henry is onside but it bounces behind him on the left so he has to hold it up instead of run on to it. Arsenal hold it reasonably well and Sagna can cross, headed as far as Rosicky whose volley goes out for a throw. A throw. He's been poor today, he really has.

Van Persie goes down like he's been electrocuted after a minor tangle with Mexes. Nope.

Ambrosini goes in late on Arteta and he is booked. A suspension for him - may as well get it in there for the dead rubber in three weeks.

GOAL MILAN! 4-0. Ibra deserves a goal and, having won that penalty, takes it. He's scored in every Champions League match he's played his season and he continues that with a drilled low finish to the left.

PENALTY MILAN! Clumsy challenge by Djourou on Ibra and it's a penalty. Yellow card.

Good cross by Abate, Ibra meets at the far post and his header drops off Sagna for a corner.

Ibra wide left to Emanuelson, Vermaelen clears and it stops in the turf before going out to he races across to clear his own clearance.

For once Milan's defence get their lines wrong and the ball drops to Van Persie - but his half-volley is straight at Abbiati, on his weaker right foot.
