Atletico Madrid v Inter LIVE: Champions League result as penalty shoot-out decides last-16 tie

Atletico Madrid needed a penalty shootout to edge past Inter Milan and reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League after an exciting last-16 clash ended 2-2 on aggregate.

Jan Oblak saved two penalties and Lautaro Martinez blasted his effort over the bar to send Atletico through 3-2 in the shootout after the match finished 2-1 to the Spanish side after extra time.

Inter opened the scoring in the 33rd minute through Federico Dimarco but Atletico hit back two minutes later with a goal from Antoine Griezmann and Memphis Depay’s goal three minutes from time sent the tie to extra time.

Both teams had chances to win it in extra time but in the end it was Diego Simeone’s side who held their nerve and last season’s beaten finalists exited the competition.

Aletico join an impressive list of teams in the quarter-final draw, including defending champions Manchester City, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.

Arsenal and Barcelona also booked their place this, while the final spot was taken by Borussia Dortmund as Jadon Sancho scored in their 2-0 win over PSV Eindhoven.

When is the Champions League quarter-final draw?

23:03 , Jamie Braidwood

Arsenal and Manchester City await a blockbuster Champions League draw as the path to the Wembley final is revealed.

This year’s final will be held at Wembley Stadium in June with Manchester City hoping to secure another tournament crown. Pep Guardiola’s side won their first European Cup by beating Inter Milan in Istanbul last year and progressed to the quarter-finals thanks to a 6-2 aggregate win over FC Copenhagen.

Arsenal were able to overturn a 1-0 first-leg defeat to Porto - but they needed the first Champions League penalty shoot-out since the 2016 final as they returned to the last-eight for the first time since 2010 on a dramatic night at the Emirates.

They are joined in the last-eight by star-studded line-up of some of European football’s biggest names, with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund their potential quarter-final opponents.

The draw will reveal not just the quarter-final fixtures, but the possible semi-final ties as well. It will be the last time Uefa holds a Champions League draw manually, with the procedure changing to a computerised system when the competition switches formats next season.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Diego Simeone does it again in the Champions League.

Inter had won 13 matches in a row to start the year, but the Wanda remains a tough place to go. It was all or nothing for Atletico tonight, but they kept their season alive. And how about Memphis Depay, by the way? What an impact from the bench, along with Angel Correa.

Here we go...

Atletico’s first penalty shoot-out in the Champions League since they lost the 2016 final. Inter won the toss twice, so pick their half, and will take first.

FULL TIME! Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

22:33 , Jamie Braidwood

And that’s it! You wait seven years for a Champions League penalty shootout and then two came in two nights.

Oblak vs Sommer. Now that’s a duel between the posts.

Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

22:32 , Jamie Braidwood

119 mins: Last chance for Atletico? A late corner is punched away by Sommer.

Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

22:30 , Jamie Braidwood

117 mins: But that’s better from Inter! Sanchez springs down the right and plays in Frattesti, who almost returned it to Martinez in the middle! But he’s unable to turn and control.

Then Atletico launch it clear. Bisseck lets it bounce and is caught by Correa. Bisseck brings him down at the cost of a yellow card.

Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

22:28 , Jamie Braidwood

115 mins: Five minutes to go until we get to penalties. Unsurprisingly, Atletico haven’t looked the same team without Griezmann.

Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

22:24 , Jamie Braidwood

111 mins: A good burst from Sanchez to pick up a loose ball - he is clattered into by Saul, and it gives Inter a free-kick in a dangerous position.

It suited Çalhanoğlu, but his effort goes straight over the bar.

Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

22:22 , Jamie Braidwood

107 mins: A tense start to the second period of extra time. Çalhanoğlu’s shot strikes team-mate Sanchez, then Azpilicueta makes a burst but can’t find anyone with his cross.

Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

22:18 , Jamie Braidwood

106 mins: On we go! But Griezmann can’t continue. He is replaced by Saul Niguez.

Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

22:13 , Jamie Braidwood

105 mins: Into stoppage time of extra time. Correa tries his luck from the edge but can’t get his shot off the ground and it’s comfortably saved by Sommer.

And there’s half-time.

Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

22:10 , Jamie Braidwood

103 mins: What a difference Depay has made! He runs all by himself from the halfway line and although he is slowed down, he is fouled from behind by Çalhanoğlu - who is booked.

Depay puts his free-kick straight into the wall. Acerbi stays down. Caught him straight in the face.

Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

22:09 , Jamie Braidwood

100 mins: It’s all kicking off a bit as we reach 100 minutes - as Thuram grabs Savic in a, eh, sensitive area. Savic stays down and VAR has a look before clearing it. That was a bit needless from Thuram and he is then taken off for Alexis Sanchez, who is on the age of 35.

Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

22:05 , Jamie Braidwood

99 mins: CHANCE! Massive opportunity for Inter! And they would have wanted this to arrive to Martinez!

From a corner, the Argentina striker beats Koke to the ball at the front post! He heads it down but can’t steer it on target!

Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

22:03 , Jamie Braidwood

97 mins: CHANCE! Another big opportunity for Atletico! Riquelme makes a fine driving run down the left and cuts it back. Depay gets to the front post but can’t beat Sommer, who saves!

Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

22:02 , Jamie Braidwood

Champions League latest

Dortmund are through! Goals from Jadon Sancho in the third minute and Marco Reus in stoppage time steer the German side past PSV (3-1 on aggregate). It’s the first time Dortmund have reached the quarter-finals in three years.

Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

22:00 , Jamie Braidwood

93’ Chance! Opportunity for Thuram - a free header! But the Frenchman gets his timing all wrong and he heads wide under no pressure. The Atletico defence disappeared.

Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

21:58 , Jamie Braidwood

Back underway! We had penalties last night - the first shootout since the 2016 final in the Champions League, which Atletico lost to Real Madrid.

Will we get an extra time goal?

EXTRA TIME! Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

21:52 , Jamie Braidwood

What a tie! We’re going to extra time!

Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

21:52 , Jamie Braidwood

90+3 mins: WHAT A MISS! That should have been it for Atletico! It’s superb from Griezmann, taking the ball on the right and then finding Riquelme with a clever ball across the face. But Riquelme then blazes his effort over the bar!

Simeone falls to his knees!

Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

21:49 , Jamie Braidwood

90 mins: Incredible noise! It rises again as it almost breaks to Correa in the box, before Inter are able to thrash clear!

How about those misses from Thuram and Barrela for Inter? They could have killed off the tie, but now Atletico are level.

Into three minutes added on.

GOAL! Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

21:44 , Jamie Braidwood

DEPAY STRIKES THIS TIME! Incredible! Depay has made some impact! And this is a lovely, lovely finish! Atletico work it well on the left and then Depay comes alive in the middle! In one swift movement, he turns inside the box and fires past Sommer into the bottom corner!

Moments after hitting the post, Depay makes no mistake!

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 on agg.)

21:43 , Jamie Braidwood

85 mins: POST! So close for Atletico and Memphis Depay! It breaks to the Dutchman on the edge of the box and he whacks a first-time shot at goal. It almost catches Inter by surprise and it lashes against the inside of Sommer’s post, before bouncing out!

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 on agg.)

21:40 , Jamie Braidwood

80 mins: CHANCE! Almost an immediate impact from two Atletico changes! Correra beats his man on the right and cuts a ball back. It falls to the substitute Depay, who turns well, but can’t get a clean shot away! It’s great defending from Darmian to get across.

And then, on the break, Barella is sent through by Martinez. It’s another golden chance to end the tie, but he takes it too wide and can’t finish either side of Oblak!

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 on agg.)

21:34 , Jamie Braidwood

77 mins: HUGE CHANCE! Ah, that should have been it! Inter’s front two come alive as Martinez carries forward and then slices Inter open. The defending is poor, sure, but Thuram times his run to get onto the pass.

But then he thrashes a shot that sails high and wide of the near post! A waste.

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 on agg.)

21:33 , Jamie Braidwood

75 mins: Inter look assured and in control. But there’s a fine line between being cool and becoming passive. Atletico are still alive in the tie.

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 on agg.)

21:29 , Jamie Braidwood

71 mins: Here it is: Rodrigo De Paul and Lino are replaced by Angel Correa and Rodrigo Riquelme. Inter are also preparing changes.

Yep - a straight swap with Darmian replacing Dumfries and Acerbi comes on for Bastoni.

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 on agg.)

21:27 , Jamie Braidwood

69 mins: There’s a flurry of activity on the Atletico bench. The tie needs something as it was starting to drift. Time for an Atletico twist.

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 on agg.)

21:23 , Jamie Braidwood

65 mins: When does Simeone start to twist? The Atletico manager has Memphis Depay and Angel Correa to call upon, but his team are also creating chances as it stands.

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 on agg.)

21:18 , Jamie Braidwood

60 mins: CHANCE! Poor from Morata! It’s good from Llorente, who puts in a tester of a cross, cut-back and bouncing. Morata takes on the volley, but can only lift it up and over the bar. Griezmann was behind him. Could he have left it?

Morata missed his foot, it came off his shin.

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 on agg.)

21:16 , Jamie Braidwood

56 mins: This feels very finely poised. It’s end-to-end, even if there is a shortage of efforts on target. Inter are committing to an open game despite their lead, while Atletico are chasing.

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 on agg.)

21:10 , Jamie Braidwood

51 mins: CHANCE! Much better from Llorente - but Griezmann must score! Llorente skips down the right and lobs the ball over Dimarco’s head to beat the full-back. He pulls it back to find Griezmann arriving, but his shot towards the near post does not test Sommer!

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 on agg.)

21:08 , Jamie Braidwood

49 mins: Immense from Griezmann! The forward slides in to block Çalhanoğlu’s effort as he lines up a shot from the edge of the box. Llorente then wastes possession with a cross that misses everyone.

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 on agg.)

21:05 , Jamie Braidwood

45 mins: Back underway! No changes as Simeone keeps faith his team after that bright first-half display.

HALF TIME! Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 on agg.)

20:58 , Jamie Braidwood

Jadon Sancho’s early goal is still the difference in Dortmund.

2-1 to the hosts against PSV in the tie.

HALF TIME! Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 on agg.)

20:56 , Jamie Braidwood

Here are the goals! That was a lovely move from Inter, straight out of their playbook.

HALF TIME! Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 on agg.)

20:47 , Jamie Braidwood

Super half of football! We’re level on the night after two quick goals, Griezmann’s equaliser cancelling out Dimarco.

Inter lead still, but Atletico will be encouraged. They were on top in spells there.

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 on agg.)

20:44 , Jamie Braidwood

43 mins: BLOCK! Almost a magic run from Griezmann! He shimmies and stops and wriggles past De Vrij in the Inter box to create a yard of room. But Pavard gets across well and blocks the shot, which would have given Sommer a problem.

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (1-2 on agg.)

20:42 , Jamie Braidwood

40 mins: A wild couple of minutes in the Champions League!

GOAL! Atletico Madrid 1-1 Inter (GRIEZMANN 35’)

20:36 , Jamie Braidwood

AN IMMEDIATE EQUALISER! Griezmann with an instant response!

Stunning - and Atletico Madrid are right back in this! Inter were appealing - they wanted offside but Motata was onside from the cross from the right. It was hooked back into the box and Griezmann was lurking, to then swivel and direct his finish past Sommer!

GOAL! Atletico Madrid 0-1 Inter (DIMARCO 33’)

20:33 , Jamie Braidwood

HUGE GOAL! And what a lovely, lovely move from Inter to take the lead on the night, and absolute control of the tie! It’s a wonderful passing exchange down the left, with Martinez dropping to release Barella. The midfielder then pulls it back to find Dimarco, one of the stars of last year’s run to the final.

Dimarco keeps his cool to slot a finish past Oblak for his first Champions League goal!

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Inter

20:31 , Jamie Braidwood

30 mins: A better spell from Atletico, the defending from Inter that bit more ragged. Lino goes for an ambitious shot from the angle, which is curled well over.

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Inter

20:29 , Jamie Braidwood

28 mins: Good save! Hermoso chips a cross intp the Inter box and Morata rises well to direct an effort on target! Sommer gets across well and keeps hold of his header.

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Inter

20:27 , Jamie Braidwood

26 mins: Inter have absorbed the early pressure from Atletico and have taken control.

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Inter

20:23 , Jamie Braidwood

22 mins: Chance! Oooh, Inter are getting lots of space to attack if they get their first ball out of defence right. Martinez holds off Savic as Di Marco is then released down the left by Mkhitaryan. Thuram was in the middle but Witsel got across and cut it out. A vital piece of defending.

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Inter

20:19 , Jamie Braidwood

18 mins: Inter are starting to grow into the game now, which is being played at an excellent pace. Martinez tries his luck from distance and almost gets a break as he shot hits Witsel and loops awkwardly for Oblak. The goalkeeper saves underneath his crossbar.

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Inter

20:15 , Jamie Braidwood

14 mins: Atletico go dow the other end and work the ball nicely down the right, with Morata then flashing a low ball across the face of goal.

But there’s no one there to convert!

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Inter

20:14 , Jamie Braidwood

12 mins: SAVE! HUGE chance for Inter on the counter-attack! Thuram does well to spark the break, as Çalhanoğlu then releases Dumfries down the right. He takes on the shot from the angle but Oblak gets down, and then smothers the rebound as Dumfries rushes the second attempt.

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Inter

20:10 , Jamie Braidwood

9 mins: Atletico have pinned Inter into their own half and are keeping the pressure up. Inter are struggling to get out as Atletico come down the left through Lino.

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Inter

20:06 , Jamie Braidwood

5 mins: SAVE! Superb run from Lino, and the Brazilian brings a smart stop from Sommer! He shifts it past De Vrij, carries into the box and shoots low. Sommer gets down well to push it clear.

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Inter

20:05 , Jamie Braidwood

4 mins: There has been an early goal tonight... and it’s arrived in Germany!

A HUGE goal from Jadon Sancho! Brilliant to see him scoring in the last-16 of the Champions League.

Dortmund 1-0 PSV (2-1 on agg).

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Inter

20:03 , Jamie Braidwood

2 mins: Encouraging start from Atletico. Griezmann brought the ball down well and fed it wide to Lino - Inter were able to clear as the full-back searched for Morata in the box.

Atletico start Antoine Griezmann, bringing the Frenchman back into the side after he picked up an ankle injury in the first leg. He’s not played since but that’s a big boost.

Since taking charge of Atletico Madrid in 2011, Diego Simeone has never lost at home in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

They need to win tonight, of course, but it shows what Inter are up against. Despite having an average season Atletico have won 18 of their 20 matches at home this season.

Last time out: On as a half-time substitute, Marko Arnautovic scored the winner to earn Inter a narrow first-leg win against Atletico Madrid. After Lautaro Martinez’s shot was saved by Jan Oblak, Arnautovic turned into the empty net. Atletico were limited to few chances and Alvaro Morata’s late header was as close as they would come.

What is the team news?

Atletico will be hopeful that Antoine Griezmann and Jose Gimenez will be fit enough to play a part in the second leg after their recent injury troubles, but Diego Simeone will certainly be without Thomas Lemar, Cezar Azpilicueta and Vitolo who all remain sidelined with longer-term injuries.

Inter, meanwhile, will be without first-leg goalscorer Marko Anautovic after the Austrian picked up a muscle injury on the weekend. Wing-back Carlos Augusto is also a doubt but Simone Inzhaghi’s side will be boosted by the return of Hakan Calhanoglu after the Turkish midfielder made his return against Bologna at the weekend.
