Live goals and score updates from both last-16 first leg encounters
The Uefa Champions League continued with its last-16 ties getting underway on Tuesday evening, with a double bill in Italy and Netherlands taking centre stage.
At the San Siro, Serie A league leaders Inter Milan narrowly beat LaLiga outfit Atletico Madrid, with Marko Arnautovic’s second-half goal the only strike of the game. Elsewhere, PSV Eindhoven held Borussia Dortmund to a 1-1 draw, Luuk de Jong levelling from the penalty spot after Donyell Malen scored for the visitors against his former club.

64’- Champions League: INT 0-0 ATM ; PSV 1-1 BVB
Another massive chance - Arnautovic has to score. A one-two sets him free inside the box and the Austrian is in - but blazes his shot over the bar with Oblak down on the ground and surely beaten.
The fans groan, Arnautovic raises his eyes skyward.
Witsel is down injured, meanwhile.
60’- Champions League: INT 0-0 ATM ; PSV 1-1 BVB
Llorente races through and gets there just about in time - De Vrij makes the tackle, clears the ball against the Atleti man and then he’s clattered in turn by Sommer. At least two of them hurt in that three-way collision, but all good to continue.
From the corner, Griezmann finds only the hands of Sommer. A little more forward-thinking impetus from the visitors, at least.
57’- Champions League: INT 0-0 ATM ; PSV 1-1 BVB
GOAL!
PSV are back on level terms! Luuk de Jong from the penalty spot - low and to the left, into the bottom corner and it’s 1-1 in Eindhoven.
54’- Champions League: INT 0-0 ATM ; PSV 0-1 BVB
Another Arnautovic effort - this time he heads off target. Barella touches the ball around the corner and is clattered from behind - yellow card for Hermoso and some attention needed for the Italian midfielder.
Morata comes on now for Saul Niguez, second sub for Atleti. Morata has had a knock but he has five Champions League goals this season.
50’- Champions League: INT 0-0 ATM ; PSV 0-1 BVB
Big chance early on in the half for Arnautovic, almost his first touch - Oblak gets down just about in time and does enough to close out the angle. Fine move from the home side in the buildup to that effort.
Atleti made a change at the break too - Stefan Savic on for Gimenez who had a knock.
46'- Champions League: INT 0-0 ATM ; PSV 0-1 BVB
Thuram indeed departs at the break and it looked perhaps a groin issue. His replacement is Marko Arnautovic, now 34 years of age and back at Inter on loan.
We are back underway at the San Siro, or the Giuseppe Meazza if you prefer.
HT- Champions League: INT 0-0 ATM ; PSV 0-1 BVB
Not an action-packed half in terms of goalmouth action in Italy but Dortmund fans are happy for now!
HT- Champions League: INT 0-0 ATM ; PSV 0-1 BVB
That’s the interval in both matches and just the one goal so far.
Inter have looked the more likely in this first half at the San Siro but Thuram looks to be in some discomfort as we end that half. He’ll need to be looked at during the break it seems.
Over in Netherlands, it’s PSV 0-1 Borussia Dortmund - Donyell Malen with the goal against his former club.
44’- Champions League: INT 0-0 ATM ; PSV 0-1 BVB
Witsel gives the ball away again and Thuram and Latuaro break away. Barella eventually tees up Thuram for a snapshot but it’s again at Oblak who saves - Atletico getting away with some shoddy passing at the moment.
French forward Thuram is currently down and getting some treatment.
40’- Champions League: INT 0-0 ATM ; PSV 0-1 BVB
Massive chance. Inter should be ahead. A Rodrigo free-kick is intercepted by Thuram, then he beats Witsel to the loose ball and squares to Lautaro - but Martinez fails to either shoot first time or take a good touch, then scuffs his shot straight into a defender and it rolls wide. That, in the context of this game and tie, is a real waste.
We’re five minutes before half time.
It’s still PSV 0-1 Dortmund in the other game, but the hosts have been pushing again with a couple of chances as we approach the interval.
