Mikel Arteta praises Arsenal fans for clinching Porto victory: 'They brought their brains'

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.

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

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’)

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!

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.
