  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • AC Milan
    • Real Madrid
    • 90+2' And it is all over at the San Siro where it finishes 1-1.
    • 90+1' Ronaldinho goes down theatrically under a challenge from Ramos... he won't win a freekick there.
    • 90' We are into injury time at the San Siro...
    • 88' But the keeper makes up for it with a quite stunning save from Raul, diving to his left to make a brilliant one-handed stop.
    • 87' Marcelo almost catches Dida off-guard with a swirling effort from outside the area that the keeper can only parry.
    • 86' Alonso drifts the freekick into the box but it is headed clear as numerous players spontaneously fling themselves to the ground in an effort to win a penalty/freekick.
    • 85' Raul wins the award for the worst dive of the day, going down under an invisble challenge. Nonetheless the ref buys it and Madrid have a freekick.
    • 83' Inzaghi misses another chance fro Milan! The striker bursts on to the ball in the box and fires into the side netting from an acute angle.
    • 82' Inzaghi misses a glorious chance for Milan! Pato curls in a cross from the right and Pepe gets a slight touch on it to throw Inzaghi off balance who scuffs his effort over the bar from three yards out.
    • 81' Both sides have now brought on their ageing goal-poachers as Van Nistelrooy comes on for Benzema for Madrid.
    • 79' Milan make a change with Inzaghi coming on for Borriello.
    • 78' This game has really gone off the boil, as if both sides are fairly satisfied with a point.
    • 77' Marcello has a shot from outside the area that trickles harmlessly wide of Dida's goal.
    • 75' Seedorf looks to feed Pato who goes down under the faintest of touches from Arbeloa... but the ref buys it and books Arbeloa.
    • 74' Madrid make a change with Raul replacing Higuain.
    • 73' Madrid are stroking the ball around confidently and Kaka throws in a quick back-heel just for good measure. I'm not sure whether the Milan fans will appreciate that sort of showboating from their former hero.
    • 71' Borriello almost sneaks in behind the Madrid back four from a gorgeous chipped pass from Ronaldinho, but the ball just evades him and is through to Casillas.
    • 69' Kaka lets rip with a low drive from 25 yards but Dida gets across and watches it fly past the post.
    • 68' Dida flaps at the corner and the ball slips through his fingers and nearly falls at the feet of a Madrid player arriving at the far post.
    • 67' Kaka dribbles down the right and wins a corner as Pirlo gets back to put the ball behind.
    • 65' Pirlo's freekick from the right picks out Thiago Silva and his header cannons off the back of Alonso and goes behind.
    • 64' Pato is sent tumbling by Arbeloa to win a freekick on the right for Milan.
    • 63' Kaka tries to play a one-two with Benzema but the Frenchman is bustled off the ball and Milan clear the danger.
    • 62' A sublime back-heel from Ronaldinho releases Seedorf on the left but he is robbed of the ball and Madrid eventually clear.
    • 60' A great ball from Alonso finds Kaka running through the middle. But Nesta gets back and makes a sprawling challenge to dispossess the Brazilian.
    • 59' Madrid play keep-ball in midfield before Benzema gets a little impatient and curls a shot high over the bar.
    • 58' A good chance goes begging for Milan! Pirlo's freekick from the left is headed well wide by Ambrosini who is unmarked six yards out.
    • 57' Madrid are on the attack but Higuain misplaces a pass straight to Ronaldinho who quickly feeds Zambrotta who is brought down for a freekick.
    • 56' Seedorf crosses from the left but his effort is easily cut out by Arbeloa who clears.
    • 54' Pato is booked for a deliberate handball as he controlled a ball into the box with his arm.
    • 53' Kaka feeds Ramos overlapping on the right, he cuts inside then out before hitting a woefully over-hit cross that goes out for a throw to Milan.
    • 51' Pirlo misplaces a pass and Diarra is in quickly to regain posession for the visitors, but his ball towards Higuain is overhit.
    • 50' Pato bustles his way into the Madrid box and it takes Arbeloa and Albiol to eventually disposses him.
    • 48' Ambrossini is sent crashing to the ground and Milan have a freekick outside the area. They feed Ronaldinho who jinks into the box before putting a delightful cross to the far post that just avoids Borriello.
    • 47' Seedorf makes a powerful burst down the left and wins a corner off Diarra who got back to make the tackle.
    • 46' And we are underway in the second half.
    • 45' The referee brings the first half to a close and what a half it was. 1-1 at the break. If the second half is as good as the first we're in for a treat.
    • 44' Borriello brings the ball down with a great first touch and Pepe crashes into him to blast it out of play and then follows it up with a bit of an elbow.
    • 42' Ronaldinho dives into a tackle on Pepe that was reckless to say the least. Both players stay down on the floor in an effort to influence the ref, no doubt.
    • 41' Kaka has another try from distance, but although this one was on target it was straight down Dida's throat.
    • 40' Kaka fires in a shot from the edge of the area, but this one is in row Z - a rarity for Mr Kaka.
    • 39' Xabi Alonso chips a freekick into the Milan box where Sergio Ramos rises at the far post to head over the bar.
    • 37' Wow, this game has really exploded into life... the penalty was a harsh decision as Pepe had no chance of avoiding Zambrotta's cross but the Pato decision was hard to fathom.
    • 36' Incredible! Pato has the ball in the back of the net but it is ruled out. I have no idea if that was for a foul or offside but it didn't look like either to me.
    • 35' Goal for Milan! Ronaldinho slams home the spot-kick sending Casillas the wrong way.
    • 34' And Milan win a penalty! Zambrotta's cross is blocked by the arm of Pepe and the referee points to the spot.
    • 33' From the ridiculous to the sublime... Borriello shows fantastic ability to beat his man in midfield before feeding Seedorf and Milan break quickly...
    • 32' Borriello stumbles down the left for Milan, losing his balance just as he was going to cross and the ball trickles out for a goalkick.
    • 31' Milan look visibly shell-shocked by the goal and are now struggling to string two passes together.
    • 29' In fairness that goal has been coming but Dida may feel he should have held on to Kaka's shot when he sees the replay.
    • 28' Goal for Madrid and Kaka shows Milan fans what they are missing! The Brazilian danced inside two tackles before driving a low drive that Dida could only parry to Benzema who tucked away the rebound.
    • 27' Seedorf and Ronaldinho play a few tidy passes around midfield before the Dutchman is closed down and wins a throw on the left.
    • 26' Alonso tries to curl a low freekick behind the Milan back-line but the ball was underhit and Seedorf cuts it out at the near post.
    • 25' Ronaldinho tries to feed Borriello in with a chipped pass over the top, but the ball had too much on it and skidded behind for a goal-kick.
    • 23' Pato misses a glorious chance to give Milan the lead. Seedorf breaks forward before laying the ball on a plate for Pato... he took his time, cut back inside Albiol before shooting straight at Casillas.
    • 22' Marcelo tumbles to the ground in a blatant attempt to con the referee into awarding Madrid a freekick in a dangerous position. The ref waves play-on but he really should have produced a card for the dive.
    • 21' Benzema turns provider this time to put a pass through the middle that Marcelo almost gets on the end of.
    • 19' Benzema beats Nesta all ends up with a neat turn before flashing a low shot from 15 yards merely inches wide of Dida's left-hand post... Milan are living dangerously.
    • 18' Sergio Ramos sprints fully 60 yards to get on the end of a long ball forward from Diarra and his industry pays off as he wins a corner off Zambrotta.
    • 17' Ronaldinho shows extraordinary vision to play a sublime pass in between two Madrid defenders towards Pato, but Raul Albiol just gets back to snuff out the danger.
    • 16' Madrid win a freekick near the corner flag that Alonso crosses towards the far post... Dida punches clear but it falls to Kaka who scuffs his shot from the edge of the box.
    • 14' Diarra crosses for Benzema unmarked 15 yards from goal, but the Frenchman just cannot get the ball out from under his feet and the chance goes begging.
    • 13' Higuain curls a shot just high and wide of Dida's goal after turning neatly on the edge of the area... it's all Madrid at the moment.
    • 12' Sergio Ramos flashes in a drive from outside the box that whistles an inch past Dida's right-hand post. Narrow escape for Milan!
    • 11' Pato shows some nice skills to beat his man on the right and crosses into the box as Ronaldinho tumbles to the ground looking for the penalty... nothing going there.
    • 10' Kaka shows his pace as he breaks quickly into the box down the left but his cross is cut out by Thiago Silva.
    • 9' Diarra has a shot from just outside the box and Dida gets down to make a comfortable save... he didn't really get hold of that.
    • 8' Milan play a bit of keep-ball in midfield before Ambrosini misplaces a pass straight to Pepe and Madrid break.
    • 6' Benzema draws a fine save from Dida from the left-hand edge of the areaÂ… the Milan keeper got his fist to the Frenchman's effort and managed to punch it clear.
    • 5' Marcelo feeds Kaka who seems to be given an age to line up a shot from outside the box but his effort is charged down.
    • 4' Higuain chases down a long ball forward and forces Dida to completely mis-kick his clearance... Madrid continue to press but Higuain is caught offside.
    • 3' Diarra loses the ball in midfield and then launches into a tackle on Seedorf in an attempt to win it back but the ref awards a freekick to the hosts.
    • 2' Milan are playing the ball around nicely in the opening exchanges before a long ball forward eludes Pato and goes behind for a goal kick.
    • 1' And we are underway in the first half...
    • - The atmosphere is building at the San Siro as the Champions League anthem echoes around the stadium. The handshakes are over and we are ready for kick-off...
    • - And here is the Real Madrid line-up: Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Albiol, Pepe, Arbeloa, Lassana Diarra, Alonso, Kaka, Benzema, Marcelo, Higuain. Subs: Dudek, Gago, Mahamadou Diarra, Raul, van Nistelrooy, Van der Vaart, Granero
    • - So here are tonight's teams in full, starting with Milan: Dida, Oddo, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Zambrotta, Pirlo, Seedorf, Ambrosini, Alexandre Pato, Ronaldinho, Borriello. Subs: Roma, Kaladze, Gattuso, Inzaghi, Huntelaar, Flamini, Abate
    • - It barely needs saying but tonight's game pitches the two most successful sides in Europe's premier club competition against one another - Real Madrid have a remarkable nine Champions Leagues/European Cups to their name, while Milan have won a slightly less impressive seven titles.
    • - Brazilian playmaker Kaka is making his return to the San Siro after his big-money summer move to Madrid and we can confirm he will be starting tonight's game. Full line-ups to follow...
    • - The last game between these two teams a fortnight ago was an absolute cracker that ended 3-2 to Milan. If Madrid are to reverse that result tonight they will have to break a San Siro hoodoo, having never won at the ground, and only scored once in five games.
    • - We'll have the teams for you very shortly, but in the meantime here's a little background to tonight's game between the top two teams in the group who are locked together on six points.
    • - Welcome to tonight's coverage of the second instalment of Milan's Champions League Group C clash with Real Madrid.

  5. Dida saved Milan....go go go you can do it !!..Milan­ played very badly..Their defenders kept on deep­ position and tend to give Madrid spaces & chances­ to attack. Pato's goal shouldn't be disapproved­ by the refree.

  11. I think the ref was on madrid side.ac will finish top­ of the group.madrid spent all millions for a draw.forza­ millan,the best side in the world!!!

    From Grace, on Wed 4 Nov 11:00AM

  12. haha madrid, you will never beat a tough team. you were­ even lucky to get a draw from milan because perez­ bought the ref too. Both goals that milan scored in­ bernabeu and san siro were good goals, but the ref­ dissalowed them for no reason. You will never beat a­ tough team, even if you have refs on your side. madrid­ lost to fc bayern, they lost to roma home and away,­ they lost to juventus home and away, they lost to­ liverpool home and away, they lost to arsenal, they got­ humiliated against Barcelona home and away, they lost­ to seville, they lost to milan in bernabeu, and were­ luck to draw in san siro. Now tell me what tough team­ has madrid beaten??????? Sporting gijon?????? HaHa­ madrid, Money Does Not Buy­ Successs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    From Money Does Not Buy Success, on Wed 4 Nov 10:44AM

  13. What I really dont understand is that people continue­ toto say MILAN was out played/ Did I watch an old match­ or what? Someone please help me coz Milan really played­ well and had a good number of opprtunities,a legitimate­ goal disallowed, fantastic and one of the most­ organised defence in the world.

    Hall Madrid, Halla Madridistas, It is true, Madrid is­ getting
    back to his best, even though there is some­ work to do at finishing the moments, and at­ scoring
    Halla Madrid !! There was no penalty, because­ the ball found the hand, not
    the other way around, if­ any one wathced the game-we all saw that it was­
    intentional by PEPE, but it is allright, Cuz Im so­ convinced
    we are gonna finish at first place, why ?­ simply cuz Milan has no chance to
    bit Olimpic­ Marselle, NO CHANCEAT ALL, HAHAAAAAAA
    Yea, one more­ thing...good job Milan, Good job done at buying the­ referees,
    good job at defending with 10 man and playing­ anti football, in your own
    stadium, that's all you­ guys can offer to your fans?is that all Milan's­
    fans watch that team or buy tickets for ?
    Not us man,­ Not the Madrid Fans....We demand the best performance­ from our
    favorit team, we demand the club to spend­ money, bring all the best out
    ther for us, why ? cuz­ the best demand the best))))
    HALLA MADRIDISTAS, YOU ARE­ THE BEST !!!! and milan-good luck with marselle­
    LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­ OOOOOOOOOOLLLLL

    I know that Madrid deserved to win that match. They had­ so many opportunities to score but it just didnt­ happen. They played well. I was really annoyed about­ that referee and that penalty kick which was not­ deserved. It seemed like he favoured the Milan team. He­ should be fired!!! And that Ronaldinho celibrating like­ he worked so hard for a FREE KICK!!! NOT­ PROFESSIONAL!!!

    Also whats the deal with the players­ always pushing KAKA down when he comes near the goal­ post.
    As much as i like KAKA but i think he should not­ have played yesterday. To me, Milan just rode all over­ him.
