Yellow Card Pepe

Ohhhhh!! Great stop by Dida to deny a powerful effort by Marcelo, who struck from the edge of the area. 1-1 it remains in these very late stages..

Pirlo checks Raul, and the Spanish giants have a free kick from all of 30 yards out. Xabi Alonso awaits to take the kick.

Inzaghi strikes from just inside the area, but this time it's wide of the target. To be fair though, the strike did come from a very acute angle..

OHHHH!!! INZAGHI SHOULD HAVE SCORED THERE!! Pato's ball across the face of goal found an unmarked Inzaghi at the back post, however his failure to control the ball well, resuled in it bouncing off his knee and over the bar..

Van Nistelrooy is brought on for only his second appearance of the season, as Benzema is taken off for the Dutch striker.

Pellegrini makes his first change of the night, as the captian Raul comes on in place of Higuain.

Substitution Gonzalo Higuaín Raúl

Kaka has been at the centre of all of his side's attacking movements tonight, and here he is again, orchestrating yet another play.

Ronaldinho chips a ball through to Borriello, and the latter's unexpected volley is weak, and easily held by Casillas.

Kaka fires from long range once again, but his effort his narrowly off target, and thus no problem to Dida in goal. 20 minute left for both sides to add to their respective tallies..

Seedorf is easily dispossessed by Marcelo, who closes down the Dutchman's angle well, as he was working himself into a shooting position.

Kaka whips in a corner, and it's fumbled by Dida, allowing Madrid to win another corner kick.

Ohhhhh!! Pirlo's ball in meets the head of Thiago Silva, however the Brazilian defender fails to direct his effort on goal. Missed opportunity there, but the Rossoneri have won a corner.

Borriello is having more of an impact this half, however it is unlikely to save his place for the entire 90 minutes, as a host of substitutes are warming up on the sidelines.

Ronaldinho is becoming a dominant player in this match, as every time he goes near the ball, a Madrid marker is hot on his tail. This time it's Ramos, and he gives away the free kick on the superstar Brazilian.

Some fancy footwork between Seedorf and Ronaldinho results in a rousing round of applause for the duo, as they look to set up another opportunity for the home side.

Oddo does well to get forward for the hosts, however he fails to get a ball into the area, as Arebloa cuts his run down, forcing him to concede a throw.

Marcelo goes into the referee's book, after clipping the heels of Zambrotta. Free kick to Milan in a dangerous crossing position.

Yellow Card Marcelo

Kaka goes down far too easily, and the referee doesn't want anything to do with it, as he rightfully allows the play to continue.

The Rossoneri are looking a little slow to react in their final third in the early stages of the second half, however Real aren't all that menacing either at this point.

Pato picks up the first booking of the night, after controlling a long ball forward with his arm.

Yellow Card Alexandre Pato

Kaka plays it wide to Sergio Ramos, and despite having the Brazilian back on in a dangerous shooting position, the defender opts to test his luck from an acute angle. Well wide of the target.

Arbeloa has been the shadow of Pato tonight. Every time the striker goes near the ball, the left-back is right there with him. The defender wins out on this occasion.

Oddo curls a nice ball into the area, however Pato was not alert to that pass, as he remains flat-footed on the edge of the 18 yard box.

Marcelo continues to dazzle around his opponents, as he wins launches a promising counter attack for the visitors.

Ohh!! Ronaldinho chips a ball to the back post, however Borriello just fails to get to it. Despite the unlikelihood of the hitman scoring there, that was probably his best chance of the night.

Seedorf and Diarra involved in an intriguing battle on the right, however the Dutchman wins out, and the hosts are awarded a corner.

Milan are being kept back deep in their defensive half, as Real slowly but surely make their way forward. Sergio Ramos sends a ball into the area, but Dida is there to punch it away.

Milan resume play in the second half...

The first half has come to an end, and the 1-1 result at present is a fair one heading into the break. Benzema's opener was cancelled out just six minutes later by Ronaldinho, however the home side then felt that they had taken the lead in the next minute, as Pato seemed to have scored, only for it to be ruled out. The second half promises to be just as exciting, so be sure to join me back from the San Siro in around 15 minutes. Milan 1-1 Real Madrid..

There will be one minute of stoppage time in the first half...

Borriello beaten by Pepe once again, and the Italian hitman is clearly agitated by the defender, who has been all over him tonight

Pepe is on the receiving end of a nasty challenge by Ronaldinho, and he looks in some pain. Thankfully he quickly gets back to his feet though, allowing the play to continue.

Kaka tests his luck from a long way out for the thrid or fourth time tonight, and you just sense that the Brazilian is confident of forcing an error out of Dida at some stage in this clash.

Tremendous challenge by Ronaldinho on an opponent, and here go the Rossoneri on another counter attack. The last 10 minutes have been as good as it gets in European football!

Zambrotta makes his way into a very promising attacking position, however he doesn't test his luck, as Xabi tracks back well to dispossess him of the ball.

Pirlo clips the heels of Benzema, and the Frenchman is down clutching his ankle. Xabi Alonso steps up to take the free kick.

Seedorf and Pato work well on the right, and the latter eventually sends a ball deep into the area, however it's a little too deep for any of his team-mates to get to. Goal kick to Casillas.

Kaka races down the other end, and shoots, however Dida stands his ground and easily claims the ball.

GOOOAAALLLL! PATO PUTS MILAN AHEAD!!! But NO!! The goal has been disallowed for a foul by the young Brazilian, howevere that looks to be extremely soft, and it is very difficult to see why that goal was disallowed.

GOOOOAAALLLLL!!! RONALDINHO!!!!! The Brazilian superstar steps up and coolly smashes it into the top left corner, equalising for Milan. 1-1 at the San Siro now..

Penalty Goal Ronaldinho

PENALTY TO MILAN!! Zambrotta is played through, and he looks to cut a ball across the face of goal, however despite it striking the back of Pepe, the referee awards a penalty.

That's better by Borriello! He turns around two opponents, and maintains possession for his side. Here go Milan on a counter attack.

Borriello is easily beaten off the ball by Sergio Ramos, and he fails in his quest to win the corner. It's a different ball game for the hitman who was the star of the show against Parma at the weekend.

Just as the hosts were beginning to settle, they will be kicking themselves at conceding that goal, having allowed Kaka to get through so easily.

Goal Karim Benzema

GOOOOOAAALLLLLLL!!!! REAL MADRID SCORE, AND BENZEMA IS THE MAN TO BREAK THE DEADLOCK!! Marcelo picks up the ball in midfield, and then plays it to Kaka, who blazes at goal from 30 yards.

Xabi Alonso takes a poorly taken free kick, and it goes only as far as Seedorf, who then runs it out of his defensive area.

Borriello is played through by Ronaldinho, but he is caught in an offside position. Replays show that he may have been level, however the decision will obviously stand.

The match has opened up now, as the Rossoneri move forward again. A goal is certainly on its way...

Ohhh!! Here go Milan on a promsiing coutner attack. Seedorf runs through the middle, draws a defender, and then plays it to his right where Pato awaits. The starlet cuts in insde, but Casillas is quick to close down the angle, denying the homs side of the best chance of the night.

Marcelo has been in the thick of the action so far, and he is played through once again, however this time he decides to go to ground, going in search of a penalty, but nothing is given, as Thiago Silva failed to make any contact with him.

Marcelo threatens to get on the end of a promising Madrid build-up, however Dida races off his line to meet the ball, denying him any chance.

Seedorf plays it square to Ambrosini, who shoots for the home side for the first time tonight, however there are doubts as to whether or not that will be counted as a shot, as it flies a long, long way over the bar.

Ohhhhh!!! Benzema with fantastic strength and awareness, as he picked up the ball just inside the area, and then beats off Nesta, to turn and shoot. His effort sailed inches wide of the bottom right corner. 0-0 it remains..

Borriello has really struggled to impose himself thus far, as he gives away a cheap free kick, after claiming possession on a rare occasion.

Ronaldinho plays a glorious through ball to Pato, and that ball right there proves that the former is on his way back to discovering his very best touch.

Xabi takes the free kick, but Dida is first to react, and he punches away the danger. He has been an absolute rock for the Diavoli this far.

Oddo mistimes a challenge on Arbeloa, and Real win a free kick in a very dangerous position to cross.

Higuain blazes an effort from just outside the area well over the bar, and incredibly, his side lead the shot count 7 to 0 at this stage.

The visitors are showing very good signs here, as they slow down the play momentarily, with some possession at the back.

Ohhhhh!! Sergio Ramos and Kaka link up well on the right. The latter then knocks a ball in towards Benzema, who chests it down for Ramos. The right-back then hit a first time volley that just didn't have enough curl on it to find the bottom left corner.

Pato does exceptionally well to conrtol a long ball, and then make a mockery of Arbeloa, after easily turning him. His ball in towards Ronaldinho is poor though, as the Madrid back four clear it for a throw in.

Nesta is beaten by Kaka, after failing to control a long ball, however thankfully for his sake Thiago Silva is there to intercept the cut back into the area. Another corner to Madrid.

Marcelo plays a short pass to Diarra, who pulls the trigger from just outside the area. His powerful effort is very low and hit straight at the keeper though, as Dida makes another comfortal save.

Pato fouled by Arbeloa, and the young attacker will certainly be on the end of a number of tough challenges tonight, after his dominant display against Madrid a few weeks ago.

Dida does well to get down low and hold a weak Higuain effort first time thankfully! He looks switched on early, which will be pleasing for the Rossoneri faithful.

The Spanish side win the first corner of the night, as Xabi Alonso waits to take the kick. Raul Albiol eventually volleys an effort well wide of the target.

Marcelo does extremely well to make his way around Ambrosini. He then knocks it in-board to Kaka, and the Brazilian tests his luck from 30 yards, however Pirlo is there to intercept.

Real are enjoying a heap of possession in their attacking third. Benzema cleverly plays it through to Higuain, however the offside flag is quickly raised.

Pirlo chips a ball forward looking for Borriello, but with numbers back, the vistors easily clear.

Diarra fouls Seedorf in the middle of the park, and the tempo is extremely low in the very early stages of the match..

The crowd are in full voice, as you would expect, as they welcome their former beloved star Kaka and his Madrid team-mates to the San Siro..
