So far, the Spurs have mainly come from free kicks from the half field into the penalty area. However, these standards do not yet pose any danger.

Kjær’s lip is bleeding and he looks a little dazed. He leaves the field under the supervision of the doctors, but will probably return in a moment.

Tooor for AC Milan, 1-0 through Brahim Díaz
Milan takes the lead with the first chance! With a long ball on the left corner of the Spurs’ penalty area, Hernández robustly prevails in a header duel against Romero.

Forster holds the shot strong, but Brahim Díaz follows up and heads the ball over the line.

Spurs take the first corner of the game after a failed save from Kalulu. Perišić plays the ball briefly to Kulusevski, who passes low into goal. The actions in the penalty area on both sides are still too imprecise.

Antonio Conte makes five changes at Spurs from the 4-1 defeat by Leicester. Sarr and Skipp start in central midfield instead of Højbjerg and Bentancur. The latter suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in the defeat on Saturday. Emerson also starts on the right wing for Pedro Porro. In the back three, Lenglet and Romero start instead of Davies and Tanganga.
20:31
On the staff: Stefano Pioli makes no changes to Milan’s starting XI compared to Friday’s 1-0 win over Torino. So, former Schalke player Malick Thiaw will start in the back three and make his Champions League debut.
20:25
Tottenham had caught a supposedly easy group with Olympique Marseille, Sporting Lisbon and Eintracht Frankfurt, in which the Londoners secured the top position with a one-point lead over Frankfurt. In the league, Antonio Conte’s team is fighting for a place in the Champions League. Most recently there were three defeats in five games. These games also saw leaders Arsenal and Manchester City twice, with Spurs even beating Citizens once.
20:19
Milan finished second in the group stage in a group with Dinamo Zagreb, RB Salzburg and Chelsea FC. Against Tottenham, the quarter-finals of the premier class could be reached for the first time since 2012. However, the reigning Serie A champions have not been doing well in the league in recent weeks. There have been three losses in the last four games. The Italian Cup was also over in the round of 16.
20:09
Hello and welcome to the Champions League Round of 16. AC Milan meets Tottenham Hotspur today at 9 p.m.
