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.

Walcott with some sterling defensive work to win a throw off Antonini back in his half. Van Persie protects the ball from Silva, who fouls him.

Meanwhile Arsenal have managed to win a free-kick 35 yards from goal. Van Persie lofts it far post to an unmarked Koscielny but it's too high to generate any power and he can only flick it into Abbiati's arms.

Koscielny lets the ball run for Vermaelen to clear, for some reasons he leaves it for Szczesny with Ibra on his tail and Vermaelen has lost it but brave from the keeper to dive in at the Swede's feet! The flag is waved... A foul by Ibra, but there was nothing in that.

A touch of respite for the Gunners as they manage to win a throw deep in the Milan half.

Abate drills in a low cross-shot that Rosicky blocks. Milan swamping them at the moment.

INCHES OVER FROM NOCERINO! It would have been some goal as he rasped in a rising drive from the edge of the box.

Antonini on the left but his cross is blocked. Now Ibra on the wing but his is cleared. All Milan now.

Milan with a throw on the right after more progressive play - Boateng floats it in for Robinho but too long for him. Goal kick.

Super pass by Rosicky to release RvP on the left wing, the angle too acute to shoot so he tries a cut-back that Mexes intercepts.

Well Milan have their tails up now - they are Serie A champions and leaders, remember - as Ibra slides Robinho in, Arsenal defending that one well.

WHAT A GOAL FOR MILAN! Kevin Prince Boateng with an incredible half-volley off the inside of the bar after he let the ball drop over his right shoulder before chesting it into his own path!

Good defending by Sagna to shepherd the ball out following a run by Robinho.

Arsenal scramble it clear after Emanuelson and Boateng dovetail nicely on the left; good spell now for Milan as they start to look more like the home side.

Emanuelson's first touch is poor, to Sagna when he should have freed Robinho. Milan get the throw anyway, to Boateng who knocks it forward, lovely flick by Ibra AND EMANUELSON but he shanks the first-time effort well wide. Should have done better.

MILAN SUB: Seedorf, who came back on after treatment, is trudging folornly off the pitch. Emanuelson on in place of his fellow Dutchman.

Sagna intercepts a Nocerino pass and Arsenal can break again. Song slows it down as they look for a possession build-up. Sagna wide right again and his poor pass hits Antonini but lands for Walcott. Good pressure this... Then a poor pass from Sagna and Ramsey fouls Van Bommel.

Arsenal break from the corner but - having done really well to buy space 30 yards out - Ramsey plays a dreadful ball to RvP wide left, behind him, overhit and out for a throw.

A promising Milan attack results in Abate finding some space on the right wing but his shot is well wide. Deflected so a corner. Emanuelson, meanwhile, is warming up: Seedorf is down.

Sagna feeds Walcott on the right but Antonini closes him down. It ends up back with Abbiati, who hits a rushed clearance, Walcott closing him down but he claims RvP's header.

Arsenal counter from that corner and Walcott is in space centrally, but Ramsey cannot find him with a searching long pass.

Ibra takes down Silva's long ball and buys a corner off Koscielny; poor corner from Milan though and it's out for a throw. Robinho wins a corner off Gibbs.
