The Gunners boast a commanding 3-1 aggregate lead from the first leg, when Martin Odegaard gave his side the lead with a fierce long-range shot. A calamitous error gifted the Greek champions a second-half equaliser, however, Gabriel Magalhaes and Mohamed Elneny seized a firm advantage for Mikel Arteta’s side in the final 15 minutes. Arsenal are clear favourites to progress to the quarter-finals, but will still remember the scars of their dramatic exit at the hands of Olympiacos last season, when Youssef El-Arabi scored a last-gasp extra-time winner at the Emirates.
Arteta confirmed that a line has been drawn under Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s discipline breach, which saw the captain dropped for the club’s 2-1 north London derby victory against Tottenham. “We talked, everything has been resolved in a really positive way. So we move forward,” Arteta said. “Everybody has to obviously perform at the highest level to earn his place in the team and there is no exceptions there.” Follow all the action live below:
52’ - Milan 0-1 Man United (1-2 agg)
Pogba is involved again, drifting in from the left and finding Greenwood, who turns and fires a low shot straight at Donnarumma.
50’ - Milan 0-1 Man United (1-2 agg)
United’s tails are up now. Greenwood drives into the box but his pass is wayward and Milan are able to clear. They go straight up the other end and Saelemaekers forces Henderson into a save with a shot from a tight angle.
GOAL! POGBA 48’ - Milan 0-1 Man United (1-2 agg)
An instant impact from Pogba! It’s poor defending from Milan, who fail to deal with a United attack. Fred wins the ball on the left of the six-yard box and Pogba lashes his finish past Donnarumma at the near post.
Kick-off
Milan get the second half underway! United have sent on Pogba in place of Rashford.

It’s goalless at the break, but Milan have been on top and, as it stands, are heading through on away goals. United need to improve after the break.
45’ - Milan 0-0 Man United (1-1 agg)
Chance! Calhanoglu is set clear down the right and has all the time in the world to pick out a teammate in the box. Krunic arrives at the back post and diverts his effort just wide.
44’ - Milan 0-0 Man United (1-1 agg)
Sloppy passing from United in midfield gifts possession back to Milan, who look the more composed side here. Hernandez tries his luck from distance but his shot is charged down.
