44’- Champions League: INT 0-0 ATM ; PSV 0-1 BVB
Witsel gives the ball away again and Thuram and Latuaro break away. Barella eventually tees up Thuram for a snapshot but it’s again at Oblak who saves – Atletico getting away with some shoddy passing at the moment.
French forward Thuram is currently down and getting some treatment.

40’- Champions League: INT 0-0 ATM ; PSV 0-1 BVB
Massive chance. Inter should be ahead. A Rodrigo free-kick is intercepted by Thuram, then he beats Witsel to the loose ball and squares to Lautaro – but Martinez fails to either shoot first time or take a good touch, then scuffs his shot straight into a defender and it rolls wide. That, in the context of this game and tie, is a real waste.
We’re five minutes before half time.
It’s still PSV 0-1 Dortmund in the other game, but the hosts have been pushing again with a couple of chances as we approach the interval.

37’- Champions League: INT 0-0 ATM ; PSV 0-1 BVB
Lautaro has a wild effort which is flashed off-target – neither side has actually had an effort between the sticks just yet. A watching brief for Oblak and Sommer.
Now the former does have a save to make finally – Martinez gets up for a header in front of Gimenez but it’s straight at Oblak.

32’- Champions League: INT 0-0 ATM ; PSV 0-1 BVB
Here’s Malen’s goal – an improbable angle to find the net from but he somehow managed it against his old club!

30’- Champions League: INT 0-0 ATM ; PSV 0-1 BVB
Inter probing again down the left flank but not getting anywhere with it as yet. The ref speaks to Koke and Calhanoglu as they have a coming-together in the middle of the park. De Paul also gets spoken to, with the Argentine pretty unhappy with Inter’s Turkish midfielder.

27’- Champions League: INT 0-0 ATM ; PSV 0-1 BVB
Tillman has headed just wide from a great chance as PSV seek an immediate equaliser – really should have scored.
Back in Italy, Atletico are just working their way back into the match and having a bit more possession, a bit more time on the ball. They are not really going anywhere yet but just finding a foothold, just trying to bring Inter out of their set positions.

24’ – Champions League: INT 0-0 ATM ; PSV 0-1 BVB
First strike of the night and it’s come in Eindhoven – for the away side.
Donyell Malen has given Dortmund the lead at PSV, a fantastic start for the German club and Malen’s first Champions League goal of the campaign.

Champions League – LIVE
Still goalless in both tonight’s Champions League games. PSV on top in their fixture with a couple of early openings but nothing major in terms of goalmouth action.
Inter definitely on top at the San Siro but nothing for Oblak to really be concerned about just yet in goal for Atletico.

Mkhitaryan spurns two chances to create opportunities then Barella crosses from the right and Lautaro eventually gets a strike in – it’s mishit and hits the defender’s arm and behind. Predictably Inter want a penalty but they’re not getting one.
