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.

FULL TIME! Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

And that’s it! You wait seven years for a Champions League penalty shootout and then two came in two nights.

Oblak vs Sommer. Now that’s a duel between the posts.

117 mins: But that’s better from Inter! Sanchez springs down the right and plays in Frattesti, who almost returned it to Martinez in the middle! But he’s unable to turn and control.

Then Atletico launch it clear. Bisseck lets it bounce and is caught by Correa. Bisseck brings him down at the cost of a yellow card.

115 mins: Five minutes to go until we get to penalties. Unsurprisingly, Atletico haven’t looked the same team without Griezmann.

Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter (2-2 on agg)

111 mins: A good burst from Sanchez to pick up a loose ball - he is clattered into by Saul, and it gives Inter a free-kick in a dangerous position.

It suited Çalhanoğlu, but his effort goes straight over the bar.

107 mins: A tense start to the second period of extra time. Çalhanoğlu’s shot strikes team-mate Sanchez, then Azpilicueta makes a burst but can’t find anyone with his cross.
