Play by play
- 93'
A great result for Milan. Classic European defending and Maldini was a rock at the back. Adebayor was closest to finding the breakthrough, but it wasn't to be. See you in two weeks time...
- 93'
Oh what a chance. That was the one, as Adebayor hit the bar from inside the six yard box!
- 93'
Walcott bursts down the right. Great ball in and Adebayor hits the bar!!!!
- 93'
One last chance.
- 93'
It's been a tough game for the Gunners and the return leg at the San Siro will be even tougher. Arsenal have failed to take their chances and may live to regret it.
- 92'
Milan solid at the back and Arsenal look out of ideas.
- 91'
Oddo has to get his head on the ball at the back post. Fabregas with the corner and Flamini was close. Walcott struck the volley and Gallas nearly gets a touch! Zalac is there though.
- 90'
Hleb stumbles and Fabregas gives the ball away. Milan are happy with the draw and are all behind the ball.
- 90'
Very little time for the Englishman to do anything though. Pirlo has another go, evidently he's trying to waste as much time as possible.
- 89'
Walcott comes on for Eboue.
- 88'
Eboue latches on to an Adebayor header. He should have found Hleb, who overruns it. Back to Bendtner, and he blasts it well over.
- 87'
Pirlo might have a crack from here? It's a very long way out, but he does. Terrible though. The would have struggled to go in even without a keeper.
- 87'
Sagna swings the ball in, but is unable to find an Arsenal head. Milan holding strong and still look dangerous on the counter.
- 85'
Lehmann does well to save from the corner there! He's had very little to do.
- 85'
Seedorf comes off for Emerson.
- 84'
Flamini is climbing all over Gattuso.
- 83'
Clichy controls the ball perfectly under pressure, but his ball forward finds Adebayor up against Maldini.
- 83'
Bendtner with the ball in. Adebayor is unable to get there. Now Hleb swings it and Bendtner can't get there. What pressure. Milan really on the back foot.
- 83'
Zalac is being worked here! Another shot fired in. Regulation save though from Fabregas. At least they're shooting on goal.
- 82'
Arsenal having to defend, but now they can break. Adebayor manages to get a shot off as the ball drops. He could have really made a difference there, but didn't quite catch the shot as he would have liked.
- 80'
Kaka turns his man at the other end. Great sliding tackle from Senderos!
- 80'
Eboue is booked for diving. He pushed the ball past Jankulovski, but he's an absolute disgrace! Rightly booked.
- 79'
Barca's comeback is complete and it's Messi again!
- 78'
Bendtner again lacks the control in the danger zone. He gives it away and Clichy is furious with the ref for pulling him back.
- 78'
Good build up play from Arsenal. Fabregas spreads it wide and Eboue gets the cross in. Well held by Kalac after the ball was deflected.
