00:00A very good evening to you on what is pretty close to an ideal evening for football.
00:09There is barely a cloud evident.
00:12The world and his wife have gone to great lengths to be here for a match of great consequence and massive interest in these parts.
00:22Barely a breath of wind.
00:24He certainly caught him there.
00:25It's a free kick.
00:30He's trying the shots, let's step it on goal
00:52No, he didn't quite meet it right
01:00Well, there's something you don't see every day
01:08It was good pressing forced the error to put an end to it before things could get even more threatening
01:23Diaby great strength too strong for his opponent
01:27Rice takes control of it and he's on the move
01:34Referee is given a corner
01:36Rice there were better options before the ball was lost easy to say from up here or no?
02:00Oh
02:10Davis
02:13Delicts to lift place it forward
02:16Diaby
02:18More than happy to take the muscular approach
02:21Ball through needs to be good here
02:24Cagliarilla
02:26Oh my word, my word, that is fantastic
02:31Oh, it really is a finish of the highest order
02:35Milan are really pouncing on any straight passes in midfield
02:42We're talking seconds from interception to the back of the net
02:45It's counter attacking heaven
02:47Milan go ahead one goal to the good
03:01Milan go ahead one goal to the good
03:21Okaka
03:22Mbappe
03:27Mbappe
03:31Mnitsukaka
03:33Caps it out
03:35Deluxe
03:37Kimmich
03:39Milan have hit the front early, a foothold in the game
03:43Well they've managed to get their noses in front early because they've been much quicker out of the stalls
03:49They've set a high tempo and intensity
03:51They look as though they want it much more at the moment
03:55Mbappe
03:57Proving impossible to wrestle off the ball
03:59It could be in here
04:01That's one way of trying to make things happen
04:04There's a few who could follow that example
04:07Just
04:09Okaka
04:11They've scored
04:13And they're at it again
04:15In double quick time
04:21The invitation was received with such a clever run
04:25And he had that defence in utter confusion
04:27And he had that defence in utter confusion
04:29I'm happy to have that
04:31To this point
04:32The support of our country
04:33After 17 nations
04:36To the fans
04:41The players are not going to be fair
04:43so that's two now without reply
05:07well they're very much the better team
05:09at the moment Peter
05:10and no doubt we'll be looking to
05:12Okaka
05:13and it's there
05:16hot knife through butter
05:19they have done it again
05:21perfect placement
05:27the one place the keeper couldn't reach
05:29now that's what I call finishing
05:31right in the corner
05:32he knew instinctively who was where
05:34and didn't need to waste any time weighing things up
05:37that's a cracking goal
05:38he's made it two
05:41and no doubt he's hungry for more
05:43and no doubt he's hungry for more
05:55he is so proud and that's what I've seen
05:59and that's why I love it
06:01even though he's angry at all
06:02Milan take a three goal lead
06:16And they are romping out of sight
06:18No doubt as to who has the momentum here now
06:21The only doubt is how many is coming
06:23Finds himself eased off the ball
06:27A real chance to break
06:29Just brushed off the ball there
06:31And they've got it back as soon as they gave it away
06:36And it's played forward
06:41Oh good interception
06:54Rice continues his run
06:56Has a goal
06:57That tested the keeper
07:00Well Peter he clearly felt he was being invited to shoot
07:04And it wasn't the worst decision he could have made
07:06Promising move that
07:09Good inroads into enemy territory
07:11But no joy
07:12Arcas looking to penetrate opposition lines
07:27And he should have made it four
07:34It was more possible than probable
07:36And the outcome backed it up Peter
07:39It will be a throw in
07:46Good run
07:58Ultimately thwarted by an astute piece of defending
08:01Crowd appreciates good football all round there
08:04Sanyolo
08:09That's a throw
08:13Sanyolo
08:20Alexander Arnold
08:22Kimmich
08:27Good challenge
08:29Good challenge
08:29He just stood firm
08:30Dashing forward at pace
08:32Forward
08:35What does he try from here
08:37Shapes to shoot
08:38And he's done very well to deal with it
08:43Milan
08:44Looking quite mean on the counter
08:45And combating that requires
08:47Even more meanness
08:48He is not one readily
09:18to admit defeat. Oh, shooting chance. Mbappe. He goes long. Oh, that is lovely footwork. And here's Cogliarella.
09:43That's gone a long way up and away. Milan have it back and they can go again.
09:58Saniolo is on to it and can take it up. He's gone away.
10:03Pumps it in. Goes for goal!
10:06Oh, that is rather wayward. All he'd be thinking is, please, ground. Swallow me up.
10:40Oh, just lacked a decent finish. Well, I think a little eagerness just got the better of him.
10:48He may have been thinking about back page headlines there.
10:51Saniolo. Good spell of possession this, but very little to show for it. Now it's Cogliarella. It's Cogliarella!
11:13Diaby. Gets it back. Ran himself into trouble there. Free kick given away.
11:28The list.
11:35Now it's Cogliarella.
11:45Fiorella.
11:52Milan really are almost trying to pass the ball through a brick wall at the moment.
11:57You can see the sense of anxiety has now shifted to the stance.
12:03Zaniolo.
12:08Kimmich.
12:09And again, they run up against stubborn defending.
12:12Has he picked him out?
12:14He's made sure that that won't get through.
12:18There is the half-time whistle.
12:20As easy as 1, 2, 3.
12:22It really has been that straightforward halfway through the match,
12:26but very little to suggest that that will change in the second half.
12:31This looks well and truly sewn up already, Peter,
12:35but please feel free to forget what I've just said,
12:38if there's a spectacular turnaround.
12:39Milan have established themselves in a position of absolute supremacy.
12:46An action-packed 45 minutes, and they have raced into a three-goal lead.
12:52We're promptly into the second 45 minutes.
12:54Gets away from his opponents.
12:59There are a few waiting for it.
13:00Goes for goal!
13:03Just needed better contact.
13:05Well, that's why we all say indecision is fatal.
13:08Up to meet it!
13:29Really well-taken goal!
13:31Results no longer in doubt!
13:36It's just about how many!
13:43A wonderful delivery, and all it needed was a touch.
13:46Well, as contact goes, that was tremendous,
13:49and it helped him to direct it exactly where he wanted into that net.
13:52I think when it comes to the aerial department,
13:54this fella's definitely no sledge.
13:56It's become a case of men against boys.
14:18Kimik.
14:21Okaka proves too strong there.
14:23De Ligt goes looking.
14:36Kimik.
14:38Neymar.
14:39Okaka, whistle's gone, that's a foul.
14:43Neymar.
14:45Caliorella.
14:48Well positioned to make that interception.
14:52Zaniolo.
14:53Little caca.
14:55Caliorella.
14:59There's a long ball.
15:01Well, he acknowledges that he should have come up with something better there.
15:05Peter, his body shape was a giveaway before he made the pass,
15:08and its obviousness was appreciated.
15:14Tries a shot!
15:16And in it goes!
15:18And McKen, they pile on the misery.
15:27It's part of the game, Peter.
15:29It has to get ruthless.
15:30Sympathy just doesn't play a part.
15:32It's part of the game.
15:33It's part of the game.
15:33It's part of the game.
15:33It's part of the game.
15:34It's part of the game.
15:34It's part of the game.
15:35It's part of the game.
15:35It's part of the game.
15:36It's part of the game.
15:36It's part of the game.
15:37It's part of the game.
15:37It's part of the game.
15:38It's part of the game.
15:38It's part of the game.
15:39It's part of the game.
15:39It's part of the game.
15:40It's part of the game.
15:40It's part of the game.
15:41It's part of the game.
15:41It's part of the game.
15:42It's part of the game.
15:42It's part of the game.
15:43It's part of the game.
15:43It's part of the game.
16:14Milan totally rampant here.
16:20Well, it's been an absolutely fabulous spell for them
16:23and they're starting to look unstoppable.
16:26There could be more on the way.
16:29Kimmich has got himself a free kick.
16:44Mbappe, he's on his way, Mbappe!
16:53Well, he caught that pure, that no-end product.
16:57Well, the defence are in a good position to get behind the ball
17:00and let them just try from range.
17:13She's in out of harm's way.
17:17And it's Koglorella.
17:19Done very well to intervene.
17:21Koglorella.
17:28Neymar.
17:32Neither side really getting hold of the ball.
17:35It's come loose.
17:37And it's been taken straight back.
17:39Well, the crowd clearly like what they just saw.
17:42Some real no-nonsense defending.
17:48And it's Koglorella.
17:51Okaka.
17:53Okaka spreads it towards the left.
17:56He gets past his man.
17:58Played into...
17:58Gets up to head it!
18:00This defence just doesn't trust itself to play a higher line.
18:05Frightened the people getting in behind.
18:07Yeah.
18:07That a foul?
18:08Yes, the referee's given it.
18:13Alexander-Arnold.
18:15Gets the better of his man.
18:19Cross deflected behind for a corner.
18:23Ah, now some movement on the bench
18:24and we are going to see a change.
18:27Well, you have to feel a little for the player
18:28who've been taken off.
18:29Great leap!
18:31And that's wide.
18:33Ah, good play all round.
18:34He was well hustled and still got a shot away.
18:54Okaka.
18:57He's picked him out.
18:58Oh, it's Koglorella.
19:00Koglorella.
19:01He's gone for it!
19:08Saniolo drives it forward.
19:10Milan really are enduring a frustrating spell
19:13when it comes to trying to move the ball around the midfield.
19:16They lack the sharpness and urgency.
19:18And it's Koglorella.
19:21Koglorella.
19:22Out to the left it goes.
19:29And a hit-up!
19:31It's there!
19:32A contest no more, it is nothing short of utter humiliation.
19:43Well, I wasn't expecting them to go this big, Peter,
19:46but they have been superb.
19:47Milan can make their change now with a break in play.
20:03Yeah, their position is a dominant one now, Peter, so introducing one of the youngsters for some added experience is bang on.
20:20Koglorella.
20:22Koglorella.
20:27He's managed to get it away.
20:31Oh, that's clearly not what he wanted to do.
20:33He's found his man.
20:54And the finish!
20:57Well, he's kicked it out.
20:58That's a great save.
20:59Well, he did get himself into a good position.
21:01Something for him to cling to.
21:14So, can they do it again?
21:22Forward it goes.
21:25Ball needed to be better there.
21:27That's a wasted chance.
21:31Saniolo passes it forward.
21:35Questions were asked.
21:36And he's given the answers.
21:38Mbappe!
21:41And that's past the post.
21:43Mbappe just had too many bodies around him.
21:46He would have done remarkably well to score from there.
21:48Mbappe just had too many bodies around him.
21:54Gets into a dangerous position.
21:56Oh, he's not going to get that!
22:02Mbappe!
22:02Kibik.
22:14Neymar.
22:28Sancho hoists it forward.
22:32As Serbi looks to dink one in.
22:40Good challenge, he just stood firm.
22:44Well, they could break here.
22:47Okaka, looking as though he's being given special treatment here.
22:51Okaka!
22:54No, that's just wide.
22:56Well, Peter, I would say it was worth a try.
23:00Milan making another change here.
23:04Yeah, it was pretty obvious as to who was going to be taken off.
23:07His energy levels began to sag and he was never going to last until the final whistle.
23:12Okaka is flagged offside.
23:17Mbappe.
23:18Going for goal!
23:23Okaka.
23:24Okaka.
23:25Okaka.
23:26Okaka.
23:27Okaka.
23:28Okaka.
23:29Okaka.
23:30Okaka.
23:31Okaka.
23:32Okaka.
23:34Okaka.
23:35Okaka.
23:36Okaka.
23:37Okaka.
23:38Okaka.
23:39Okaka.
23:40Okaka.
23:41Okaka.
23:42Okaka.
23:43Okaka.
23:44Okaka.
23:45Okaka.
23:47Who has crossed the line and it's a throne
23:55But Ardy oh he's going to be pulled back for that one
24:10He just works it away
24:16And that's been one straight back and it's Neymar
24:28Bit of an appeal but nothing doing
24:33Yeah, he was under pressure to get that exactly right. He couldn't even think of the consequences. It was instinctive and rock-solid
24:40I think there's on the back foot
24:46Berardi tries to get it forward quickly going through
24:59Mbappe
25:04Berardi plays it forward
25:07That's offside yes, it is
25:14So now we're going to get those changes we have been expecting
25:17Cagliarella two goals to his name already and
25:38Now they can launch a counter gets away from his opponents
25:42This is as ruthless as it gets
25:56Well, I think we've gone past humiliation now this could be doing some real psychological damage
26:12What?
26:12Milan, once
26:33And that is it, the referee
