Instead, with Spurs, always in the group stages: Tottenham 2-7 Bayern Munich in the 2019/20 Champions League edition, Inter 2-1 Tottenham in the 2018/19 edition, and Borussia Dortmund 1-2 Tottenham in 2017/18. He has been involved in two AC Milan games: AC Milan 1-1 Porto in the 2021/22 Champions League group stages and AC Milan 0-2 Arsenal in the 2017/18 Europa League Round of 16 first leg. The Rossoneri come into the game on the back of the defeat at Fiorentina (1-2), after a month of wins and clean sheets (four on the spin) in Serie A and the Champions League. It's currently a bad period for them, and in the Premier League at the weekend they fell to a 1-0 defeat to the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers (goal by Traoré in the final ten minutes), their second consecutive defeat after the FA Cup exit to Sheffield Utd. Then, on Tuesday 14 March, again at 21.00 CET, there's Manchester City v RB Leipzig (1-1 after first leg) and Porto v Inter (0-1). [Tottenham](https://www.acmilan.com/it/news/videos/media/2023-03-07/tottenham-milan-london-calling) are the team to knock out, with both a win or a draw on the night enough to go through, thanks to the 1-0 lead from the first leg. On the list of being one game away from suspension is Ballo-Touré, Krunić, Tomori and Tonali. The last-16 second legs got underway last night, bringing about the first quarter-finalists from Benfica 5-1 Club Brugge and Chelsea 2-0 Borussia Dortmund, with the Portuguese and English side going through. At stake is a place in the [Champions League](https://www.acmilan.com/en/season/2022/schedule/uefa-champions-league) quarter-finals, where the Rossoneri haven't been since April 2012. At the back, Thiaw should keep his place, with Messias favourite on the right and Leão in attack, who is back from his suspension in Florence. On the eve of the game, the main question seems to be whether to start with [History](https://www.acmilan.com/en/news/articles/history/2023-03-06/time-machine-ac-milan-and-the-round-of-16-second-legs) cannot be cancelled, but it can be rewritten.

Minute-by-minute report: Tottenham Hotspur exited the tournament with barely a whimper following an embarrassingly insipid performance against the Italian ...

42 min: Dejan Kulusevski sends a cross towards the far post from the right, standing the ball up at the far post. 38 min: With little to get excited about taking place on the pitch, the atmosphere in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on this cold March evening seems fairly subdued. 58 min: Harry Kane receives a pass from Hjobjerg and is clipped by Sandro Tonali as he turns to sprint into the Milan penalty area. 63 min: Son attempts a cross into the Milan penalty area but his effort is blocked. 67 min: Leao tries to tee up Brahim Diaz, who could have shot first-time from 15 yards out but elected to take a couple of touches. Ben Davies recycles the ball but it ends up in the warm embrace of Mike Maignan. They’ve been dismal tonight and those two results, not to mention their defeat at the hands of Wolves on Saturday, are going to prompt no end of calls for Antonio Conte’s head. 77 min: In news that will come as no surprise to anyone who is familiar with his work, Cristian Romero gets his second yellow card for a rash, stupid lunge on Theo Hernandez. 90+1 min: Divock Origi runs into traffic on the edge of the Tottenham penalty area. Hernandez squares the ball for Origi, whose shot hits the foot of the post and rebounds into the arms of Fraser Forster. He gets down to his right to parry the ball clear and Milan break upfield. Tottenham win a free-kick and Son hoists the ball towards the far post.

Spurs have to make a quick start to this game, with plenty of energy and pressing to ensure the fans remain on their side and in full voice. There's been occasional moments of urgency but not enough for a team trying to keep their place in the Champions League. Spurs have woken up and the crowd are responding to a bit of urgency. Hojbjerg goes on a run and fires an effort that the keeper has to push over. Both have looked hesistant and lacking in ideas. Conte also booked for protesting.
