- The match is under way.
- Welcome to San Siro where AC Milan's supporters will be hoping to see their side gain what would only be their second home victory of the season. The European champions have endured a troubled campaign to date, already off the pace in Serie A and currently only third in UEFA Champions League Group D after defeat against Celtic FC on Matchday 2. They face a stern test against leaders FC Shakhtar Donetsk this evening too, for whom striker Cristiano Lucarelli returns to Italy for the first time since leaving AS Livorno Calcio in the summer.
