22:51 That is all for the Liveblog

All the Italian teams are out of the Champions League.

22:49 Match report

 

22:47 The Lautaro penalty

 

22:42 Lautaro Martinez: OVER THE BAR

He Baggio’d that. Inter are out of the Champions League.

22:41 Correa: GOAL

Off the underside of the bar!

22:41 Acerbi: GOAL!

Hit that like a rocket.

22:40 Riquelme: GOAL

Sent Sommer the wrong way.

22:39 Davy Klaassen: SAVED

That was a good save, he had to be at full stretch for that one.

22:39 Saul Niguez: SAVED!!!

It’s all level!

22:38 Alexis Sanchez: SAVED

He tried to lift it too, but too central and nowhere near enough power. Oblak got a hand to it.

22:37 Depay: GOAL

Also a scorcher into the roof of the net.

22:36 Calhanoglu: GOAL!

Blasted into the roof of the net.

22:36 Inter win the toss twice

So they go first and pick the end. Calhanoglu first.

22:32 FT: It goes to penalties

They cannot be divided. Spot-kicks it is.

22:31 Atleti corner

Atletico Madrid corner punched away by Sommer.

22:30 De Vrij nods clear

Dangerous Atleti free kick into the box, De Vrij clears and then Sommer smotehrs.

22:28 End to end!

Huge chance for Inter, Frattesi pulled back beyond Lautaro Martinez, then Memphis Depay goes on the counter, Bisseck makes a last-ditch tackle and is booked.

22:28 People you feel sorry for

The fourth official, having to deal with both Simeone and Inzaghi.

22:25 Bobo Vieri is not impressed

 

22:24 Calhanoglu over

He fires it well over.

22:23 Free kick for Inter

Very clumsy Saul Niguez tackle ends up booting Alexis Sanchez in the stomach. Free kick in Calhanoglu territory.

22:22 Inter sub

Mkhitaryan off, Klaassen on

22:20 Calha strikes

A couple of ferocious Calhanoglu strikes charged down, the second by Alexis Sanchez, who was felled like a tree.

22:19 Bit of a wobble

Sommer there to clean up after a wayward clearance bounced off Depay…

22:16 Atletico Madrid sub

Griezmann off, Saul Niguez on

22:14 Half-Time in Extra Time

Still nothing to separate these teams.

22:12 Correa strike

Correa turns De Vrij, but the finish is straight at Sommer.

22:12 Acerbi booked

Yellow card for a very obvious shirt tug on Angel Correa.

22:10 Oof!

De Vrij in the wall for a free kick, gets a Griezmann scorcher right in the face.

22:10 Thuram…

 

 

22:09 Calhanoglu booked

Calhanoglu took one for the team, Depay sprinting away on the counter, doesn’t trust his defenders to do it, so takes him down from behind.

22:07 Inter sub

Someone evidently told Inzaghi, who subs Thuram off for Alexis Sanchez.

22:06 Calhanoglu lands badly

Calhanoglu barged mid-air, lands heavily. While he gets treatment, at least Savic and Thuram laugh it off…

22:05 Naughty Thuram!

Thuram reached back and gave Savic a not so gentle squeeze in the nethers. He’s lucky not to get a card for that.

22:05 Over two legs

The finishing has been pretty woeful from both teams. So many wasted opportunities.

22:03 Atletico sub

Cesar Azpilicueta on, Marcos Llorente off.

22:03 Inter chance

Inter corner nodded wide at the near post by Lautaro Martinez! Inches wide!

22:01 Sommer save!

Riquelme pulls the ball across the face of goal from the left, Depay prods it into the arms of Sommer!

22:00 Simeone hurt?

Amazon Prime Video Italia say Simeone pulled a thigh muscle celebrating the Depay goal and is now limping.

21:59 Thuram miss!

Bisseck floats a cross into the box, Thuram is up too early for a totally free header and steers it wide!

21:58 Inter in extra time

It’s the first time Inter experienced extra time in the Champions League/European Cup since beating Celtic on penalties in the 1972 semi-final.

21:57 Simeone reaction

 

21:55 Extra time kicks off: Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 agg)

21:53 FT: Borussia Dortmund 2-0 PSV

Reus did score eventually for 2-0, Dortmund qualify 3-1 on aggregate.

21:52 Depay goal

 

21:51 FT: Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter

It’s 2-2 on aggregate, we go to extra time.

21:50 ATLETICO MADRID MISS THE WINNER!

HOW DID THAT NOT GO IN?! Oh Inter, riding their luck. Griezmann down the right rolls it across for Riquelme, who is unmarked and sweeps it over the bar from 13 yards! Simeone collapses in disbelief!

21:49 Depay goal

 

21:48 Ouch

Inzaghi tries to control a loose ball at the touchline, kicks it at the cameraman.

21:47 Koke booked

Koke into the book for the foul on Mkhitaryan.

21:46 Sommer save

Atletico Madrid want to win it in regular time. Sommer flaps a bit on the cross, but eventually makes the save on Correa.

21:43 Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter: Memphis Depay

That makes it 2-2 on aggregate and as things stand, it’s extra time. Koke through ball for Depay, who is onside, turns De Vrij and drills into the near bottom corner.

21:42 DEPAY OFF THE POST!

Poor clearance, Depay absolutely smashes it from outside the area, Sommer could only watch as it bounced off the inside of the near post and back out!

21:40 Inter subs

Frattesi and Bisseck on, Barella and Dimarco off. Darmian moves to the left, Bisseck to the right.

21:39 Barella waste!

Again Inter have a counter-attack sparked by the perfect Lautaro Martinez pass, again it is wasted, this time Barella fires straight at Oblak!

21:38 DARMIAN TO THE RESCUE

That is a goal-saving tackle, it really is! Depay had controlled the roll across, turned from six yards to shoot, but Darmian with the decisive block!

21:36 Atletico Madrid subs

Depay and Barrios on, Morata and Molina off

21:35 Borussia Dortmund goal disallowed

Still 1-0 on the night, 2-1 on agg.

21:33 Thuram miss!!

Oh that had to go in! Atleti corner cleared, Lautaro Martinez on the counter, times the pass perfectly so Thuram is onside, but the Frenchman blasts over the bar!

21:32 Atleti chance

Rodrigo Riquelme cuts inside past Darmian, finish from the edge of the box deflected off Pavard for a corner.

21:29 Inter subs

Darmian and Acerbi on, Dumfries and Bastoni off. Interesting. De Vrij was the doubt for Bastoni before the game.

21:28 Atletico Madrid subs

Riquelme (not that one) and Correa (also not that one) on, De Paul and Lino off.

21:27 Dimarco cross intercepted

Dimarco sprints down the left, whips in a cross for Barella, but Hermoso gets the decisive header to intercept.

21:25 Morata flick

Morata flicks on the cross, but there’s nobody behind him ready to take advantage. 68th minute, no subs yet.

21:20 Inter first foray

Inter first foray forward in the second half, but Savic gets there to nod away the Barella cross before Thuram can reach it. Bastoni then makes a great tackle to stop the counter-attack.

21:16 Morata miss!

Bastoni gives it away, Llorente roll across for Griezmann, except Morata gets there first and shins it over! Griezmann was not happy.

21:14 Another Mkhitaryan error

Had options going through the middle, first pass blocked, second over-hit for Dumfries, who then nudges Lino over.

21:12 Oh dear

Mkhitaryan has a go from distance. So bad it almost went for a corner.

21:11 Atletico Madrid very aggressive

They are pouring forward now.

21:08 Sommer save!

That is a real chance for Atletico Madrid! Pull back from the right for Griezmann, relatively unmarked from 12 yards, but he scuffs it and fortunately for Inter, Sommer can make the save.

21:07 Griezmann block

Calhanoglu cut inside and was ready to shoot, but Griezmann made the crucial block. Then Atleti counter, but the cross is awful for Morata.

21:02 2nd half kicks off: Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 agg)

No changes for the two coaches.

20:50 Dimarco not really a defender

 

20:46 Half-Time: Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 agg)

20:45 Griezmann goal

 

 

20:44 Dimarco goal

 

20:42 Pavard decisive

Griezmann with a mazy dribble between a crowd of players, toe-pokes it, but Pavard makes the crucial block for a corner.

20:40 Hermoso booked

Hermoso booked for handball to stop the Barella counter-attack.

20:38 Free kick for Atleti

Pavard pointless tackle for the free kick, floated over the top and put in from the left, but cleared with difficulty by Lautaro Martinez of all people. Thuram then barged in the back by Koke.

20:37 Dimarco goal

 

20:35 Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter: Antoine Griezmann

What a mess that was… Inter complaining Morata might’ve been offside in the build-up, but then Koke pass, Pavard makes a total mess trying to clear, it hits Bastoni and into the path of Griezmann.

20:32 Atletico Madrid 0-1 Inter: Federico Dimarco!!!

And there is the trademark shrug celebration! Lovely move, Barella runs onto the through ball, Dimarco cuts inside and shouts for it, steers it past Oblak with the inside of the right boot from 12 yards!

20:29 Atleti again

Another cross, a pull back from the by-line, scrambled clear with difficulty. Inter under pressure now and Atleti increasing the press. Lino curler is over the bar.

20:28 Save on Morata

Very good cross whipped in from the left for Mirata, who is allowed a free header, but it’s well smothered by Sommer!

20:27 Another daft handball

This one given against Atleti defender Savic.

20:24 De Paul over-hits the pass

De Paul and his ludicrous bleached cornrows over-hit the pass over the top for Morata.

20:22 Griezmann fires over

Griezmann in a good position, but leaning back.

20:21 Dimarco chance

Ooh! Dimarco bursts down the left, tries to roll it across for the Thuram tap-in, but Witsel makes a decisive interception.

20:19 Crowd getting frustrated

Inter passing it around slowly, trying to take the sting out. Crowd booing.

20:18 Lautaro chance

Strike from distance takes a deflection off Witsel and loops up, Oblak has to scramble back to pluck it out of the air.

20:14 Danger

Morata down the right flashes a ball across the face of goal, but nobody is there to meet it! It is put back in from the other side and Sommer parries before Barella is fouled.

20:12 Double save on Dumfries!

Inter break from midfield with a Calhanoglu through ball, Dumfries twice tests Oblak at the base of the near post!

20:09 Inter struggle to clear

Pavard needed a few headers to clear that, it then hit Lautaro Martinez’s shoulder and onto Thuram’s arm/chest. Atleti appeal for a penalty, but no way.

20:05 Sommer save!

Lino, still a real handful. Bursts down the left and angled drive beaten away by Sommer at the near post.

20:04 Borussia Dortmund 1-0 PSV

Sancho

20:04 Savic header

Free kick floated in for the Savic header, basically a back-pass to Sommer.

20:03 Extremely harsh!

Handball given against Lautaro Martinez when his hand did not stop the shot being smashed into his face. Luckily, it’s in midfield.

20:01 Aggressive start

Lino cross over the head of Llorente, Dimarco was there too. Lino was a real handful in the first leg.

18:43 Welcome to Madrid

 

Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from the Champions League, as Inter must avoid defeat against Atletico Madrid to reach the quarter-finals.

It kicks off at the Wanda Metropolitano at 20.00 GMT.

The Nerazzurri won the first leg 1-0 thanks to a Marko Arnautovic strike, but the Austrian and Carlos Augusto are injured and did not make the trip.

Simone Inzaghi’s men have won all 13 competitive games played in 2024 and are the only remaining Italian representatives in this tournament, as Lazio and Napoli were eliminated by Bayern Munich and Barcelona respectively.
