FULL TIME
That´s that. For the second Champions League match in a row AC Milan have thrown away a lead. Atletico Madrid just kept coming and the Italian side could not hold on.
Absolutely brutal but great drama and a brilliant group stage game. Truly excellent.
The San Siro is quiet but for the Atletico supporters now. Heartbreak for Milan.
GOAL! MILAN 1 ATLETICO 2 (Suarez, 90+7´)
Suarez hits the winner!!!!!!! SURELY!
PENALTY CONFIRMED!
Suarez to take it...
Kalulu is at close quarters with Lemar and the ball bounces off his hand.
VAR TAKES A LOOK!
PENALTY TO ATLETICO
DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA!
GREAT SAVE!
Maignan dives to his right to deny De Paul.
SIX MINUTES ADDED ON!
Brilliant challenge from Tomori to keep Correa out. This is a mad finish to a mad game.
Atletico come again.
Milan look shellshocked and so, so tired...they were minutes away...
Could it get worse?
GOAL! AC MILAN 1 ATLETICO MADRID 1 (Griezmann, 84)
ATLETICO HAVE THE EQUALISER!
Lodi´s cross is well met by Griezmann who rifles a brilliant effort past Maignan on the half volley.
Goal
A. Griezmann
Bennacer is off for Florenzi as Milan make their final changes.
Defend, defend, defend.
Kalulu is on for the recently-booked Saelemaekers too.
Yellow time. Saelemaekers picks one up for a slide on Felix and he doesn´t care one bit because it gives the team a breather.
Yellow card
A. Saelemaekers
Atletico passing it around just looking for a way to cut through this stubborn Milan defence but they simply cannot find a way. Milan are doing their utmost to hold the ball further up the field and give the defence a break.
CLOSE!
Atletico have their first shot on target! Lemar´s deflected effort is well saved by Maignan
Atletico Madrid are yet to have a shot on target...
CHAOS!
Suarez and Maignan clash in the six-yard box as they each go for the ball, but Maignan comes out worse for wear as he takes a Uruguayan knee to the head.
Accidental for sure, and Suarez, given his reputation, receives an earful from almost everyone despite appearing to ask if the goalie was okay.
Another yellow, this time for Hernandez for pulling back Suarez...it´s been coming.
Yellow card
T. Hernandez
Atletico with all the possession but they´re yet to truly test Maignan.
The latest effort is Rodrigo de Paul´s strike from the edge of the box that spins high and wide. Should hit the target there because he was in a lot of space.
More subs, subs everywhere.
Lemar is on for Kondogbia. All the big guys are on now. Attack, attack, attack.
Kondogbia is the latest into the book for what I´d describe as general foul play. Then everyone loses their minds and there´s a classic middle-of-the-pitch scuffle full of dives and what not.
Griezmann is on for Koke and the thuinder has started!
Tonali buys his side some time by drawing a foul from Hernandez.
AC Milan are 30 minutes away from the win here...can they hold on?
