Atletico into last eight after Milan rout

Atletico Madrid 4 AC Milan 1 (Atletico win 5-1 on agg)

Costa, whose late header earned Atletico a 1-0 first-leg win at the San Siro, acrobatically put the Spanish side ahead with the first chance of last night’s clash. Koke floated in a cross from the edge of the area and Costa, having peeled away from Milan centre-back Adil Rami, flung himself at the ball and managed to volley it past Christian Abbiati.

Milan got a foothold in the tie in the 27th minute when Kaka headed home from their first decent opportunity. Mario Balotelli played the ball out to Andrea Poli and his deep cross was met at the far post by Kaka, whose header flew into the net via the thigh of Atletico defender Juanfran.
