00:03The Game is on the page, but it's been a long time for the game.
00:04So welcome one and all to our live coverage of the ongoing group stage here.
00:08The tournament making steady progress towards its lockout phase.
00:13We'll be ready to go once the final checks are carried out.
00:16We have a hugely expectant crowd here.
00:19We just hope that the game lives up to the atmosphere.
00:28this game of course brought to you amid the glitz and glamour of the principality of
00:33monaco a quite unique setting
00:38as you can see we've already started here
00:44played in
00:44up for the header
00:47goal monaco
00:49and monaco take the lead
00:56it is a good finish the odds were against him little matter
01:00i think that defense there thought they were in good position and they had him where they
01:04wanted yet somehow he's won the scoring position when they didn't see him on
01:08it's really crappy business
01:30monaco go ahead one goal to the good
01:35castledine brings the ball forward
01:37shot at goal
01:40oh that is rather wayward
01:41oh i'm not sure what he had in mind
01:44and i don't think he knew either
02:04more than happy to take the muscular approach
02:07good running with the ball
02:09has a pop
02:11it's in
02:12they have come roaring back
02:19and that really is so so impressive
02:30it's in
02:49i'm not sure how it is
02:52i'm not sure how it is
02:53i'm not sure how it is
03:13that has certainly made things interesting
03:15I think the coach will really be annoyed with that
03:18the players were still thinking about their goal
03:20and just got caught napping
03:24Calicuri has a hit
03:26oh taken with style
03:30they've done it
03:31it was coming
03:32they have their reward
03:38and that is about as cool as they come
03:41he picked his spot expertly
03:43now that's what I call finishing
03:45right in the corner
03:47he knew instinctively who was where
03:49and didn't need to waste any time weighing things up
03:51that's a cracking goal
04:15Milan kept themselves into the lead
04:18no doubt as to who has the momentum here now
04:21the only doubt is how many is coming
04:32well red he sorted that out
04:43it's one
04:45an absolute thunderbolt
04:49he's got himself a pitch of a goal
04:54all too easy
04:56they are in danger of disappearing out of sight
05:04perfect placement
05:05the one place the keeper couldn't reach
05:07well you know sometimes it pays off
05:09not to think too much about things
05:11just put your foot through it
05:12and that was a good example
05:14great contact then
05:15the keeper had very little chance
05:38Milan
05:38Milan
05:39will two up
05:39and into a position of real strength
05:41well they're very much the better team
05:44at the moment Peter
05:45and no doubt we'll be looking to
05:47to cause even more damage here
05:54ball through needs to be good here
05:56real chance
05:58and more
05:59and more
06:00and more
06:02hot knife through butter
06:04they have done it again
06:10no space
06:11no problem
06:12you just cannot stop him
06:15oh this fella's as slippery as a kneel
06:17the way he freed himself to score
06:18I mean for that defence
06:19it was a case of
06:20no you've got him
06:21no you don't
06:22brilliant
06:24he's made it three
06:26quite today at the office for him
06:28this is one of the best performances
06:29I've seen in a while
06:30he's practically taken on this team
06:32single-handedly
06:33and they don't know how to stop him
06:46so now the difference is three
06:49well unsurprisingly Peter
06:51the opposition look
06:52completely stunned
06:53I'm not sure they can gather themselves
06:59no question that's a foul
07:14that had to be more accurate
07:18it's got through to him
07:20he's had a shot
07:22goal
07:24and they're at it again
07:26in double quick time
07:32well no goalkeeper would keep that out
07:35it really was a bullet
07:37oh the contact was fantastic
07:39right on the boot laces
07:40and it packed a lot of venom
07:41for what was a really potent strike
07:45four in the game
07:47he is the man
08:05things looking so easy
08:07almost too easy here
08:08well it's been an absolutely fabulous spell for them
08:11and they're starting to look unstoppable
08:13there could be more on the way
08:19driving on now
08:20what can they conjure from here
08:24hoists it forward
08:25as Serbi does well to read it
08:27and intercepts
08:29it's come from
08:31Castledine
08:33oh impressive strike
08:34well that's why we all say
08:37indecision is fatal
08:50Pellegri
08:51both sides
08:52a bit lacking in intent
09:00gets his foot in there
09:01he's not played the ball
09:03that's a foul
09:15Moncala
09:20he gets past his man
09:24Calicuri
09:25is on his own
09:26and the finish
09:29not the best in the keeper
09:30yeah they got away with it
09:32but that was a defensive letdown
09:34to see him march through like that
09:37up to meet it
09:40oh almost a six
09:56go up in
10:07gets it back
10:09it's a good run down the right
10:11where could this lead
10:13and it's Calicuri
10:18big chance
10:20oh he really got hold of that
10:23it was more possible than probable
10:25and the outcome backed it up
10:27Peter
10:33Golovkin
10:37Inlet battles to win it back
10:44forward
10:44what does he try from here
10:47Calicuri
10:48in with a header
10:51it's there
10:54a contest no more
10:56it is nothing short of utter humiliation
11:03well I wasn't expecting them to go this big Peter
11:06but they have been superb
11:07oh
11:10hmm
11:11hmm
11:37It's become a case of men against boys.
11:48Golovin, great strength, too strong for his opponent.
11:52Golovin cuts a frustrated figure right now.
11:55He just cannot get away.
11:57Look, he could do with someone else taking responsibility to shift the target.
12:01He badly needs some help here.
12:06That's gone a long way up and away.
12:09And the assistant referee has his flag raised for offside.
12:17Keeper sends it forward.
12:22Gelson Martins.
12:28As Serby goes looking.
12:33Castledine.
12:36Carlson.
12:43Looks to clip it forward.
12:46Fence has got rid of that.
12:51And it's played forward.
12:54The pass needed to be better than that.
12:55And he knows it.
12:59Going through.
13:03And that'll go straight through to the keeper.
13:07Gelson Martins.
13:15Out to the right.
13:24Carlson tries to get it forward quickly.
13:27Pellegri.
13:30Pellegri.
13:30Has a goal!
13:33And that's past the post.
13:35The defence did very well to be able to close him down in numbers like that.
13:39They basically suffocated his hooks.
13:44And it's Calicuri.
13:50Carlson.
13:51And a shot!
13:53And that's why.
13:55Oh look, I don't want to sound too dismissive.
13:58But from here, that looks a harder thing to do.
14:09Delsen Martins desperately wants to get on the end of this.
14:13And the through ball is intercepted.
14:17Carlson.
14:29It's a promising run he's making on the right.
14:32He's left his man.
14:35And he heaves it forward.
14:41Finds himself eased off the ball.
14:45Castledine.
14:50Now the crop.
14:51Gets up to head it!
14:53Really well taken goal.
14:58Well, just another one to add to what has already been an incredible haul.
15:07Listen, when you're on an invitation to improve your goal difference,
15:11it weighs off.
15:14How many more does he want?
15:37And we've reached half-time.
15:38Well, that flew by.
15:40It was breathless stuff.
15:42It's been one-way traffic here after the first 45 minutes.
15:45But it's a relentless barrage that looks set to continue.
15:50Milan have been simply outstanding in the first half for me.
15:54And I think the scoreline is a very fair reflection.
15:58Their boss being the perfectionist he is, won't be happy that they haven't kept the clean sheet.
16:03But yeah, it looks like they're going to get the job done.
16:06Milan utterly dominant in the first 45 minutes, scoring at will.
16:12Well, the action has already resumed here.
16:16Change is made by neither side, from what we understand.
16:20Good challenge, he just stood firm.
16:24Caliguri.
16:26Mangalik gets into the right position to intercept.
16:33Castle Dine.
16:41Golovkin.
16:43Pelleguri.
16:45This is gone, that's a foul.
16:51As Serbi gets his final warning.
16:54Yeah, and he has to change his ways, or this...
16:57It's gone, and he's cut through his own net!
17:03Oh, it's an unusual turn of events, and it was an honest attempt to help out,
17:08and I suppose it can happen to anyone.
17:34Fortuitous as it may have been, they all count one.
17:38He's through and all alone!
17:41He's gone for it!
17:42And the follow-up...
17:45Golovkin.
17:51Gelson-Martins.
17:56Forward it goes.
18:00It was a move that looked promising, but eventually thwarted without doing any harm.
18:06Well positioned to make that interception.
18:10Mungala.
18:12It was brushed off the ball there.
18:16Decent looking ball.
18:18Castle Dine.
18:20It's had a shot.
18:21And yes, it's there!
18:26And again, they pile on the misery.
18:32It's part of the game, Peter.
18:34It has to get ruthless.
18:35Sympathy just doesn't play a part.
18:39Of course.
18:42No!
18:45No!
18:51But...
18:52...
19:11Great strength, too strong for his opponent
19:13Oh, he's big chance, must be
19:16Hits one
19:19No, that's just why
19:20Kasselgaard looked very impressive there
19:23Well, at least until he got into a shooting position
19:27Something I'm sure he'll want to have a go at again
19:34Golovkin
19:36Golovkin plays it forward
19:38Hoists it forward
19:43Looses his balance and loses the ball
19:51Let down by a lack of accuracy
19:55Good progress is made on the ball
19:57Where to next
20:00Over to the left
20:07Massive leap
20:09No, got right underneath it
20:11Do I really need to tell you, Peter, that he has to do better
20:14Especially from there
20:25Forward it goes
20:30Pellegri
20:33Goals come loose
20:34And the chase is on
20:38Castledine
20:42This defence just doesn't trust itself to play a higher line
20:46Frightened the people getting in
20:47But the referee's awarded a free kick
20:51The referee has resisted the temptation to go to his pocket
20:54It's just a stern lecture
21:08Castledine
21:08Well-weighted
21:10And he's searching through
21:12He's gone for it
21:15Well, he caught that pure
21:18But no end product
21:19Still a cracking effort
21:22Really looked like a man on a mission
21:24The way he went through on goal
21:36Pellegri
21:38Goes for it
21:41He steered it beyond the post
21:43Monaco are really feeling the strain now
21:46Impatience has taken charge
21:51And it's Calicuri
21:52Gets it back
21:56Pellegri
21:57Battles to win it back
22:00Calicuri
22:01That's a decent ball
22:06No messing about
22:07Just bludgeoned the way
22:11Milan
22:12Couldn't do a whole lot with it there
22:13They could do with more sharpness in their passing
22:17Well, Gala cuts it out
22:21Castledine
22:22Has a hit
22:30So here comes the substitution
22:32Yeah
22:33Yeah, they're towering header
22:34And a second time
22:46Great leap
22:48And he couldn't keep it down
23:05And it's Milner
23:08Pellegri
23:08And his goal scoring skills
23:10Have already been evident
23:14Tries to get it forward quickly
23:17Gelson Martins
23:19Gelson Martins
23:21Not easily shrugged off the ball
23:24Golovin
23:26Castledine
23:28He's found his man
23:30He's had a goal
23:33Keeper always had the measure of that
23:35Well, it was hit with great power, Peter
23:37But sadly
23:38Not great precision
23:47Gelson Martins
23:49Gelson Martins
23:50Goes looking
23:55Milner
23:55Good challenge
23:57He just stood firm
23:58Yeah, he's fouled him there
24:12Milner
24:21Gelson Martins
24:23He's gone away
24:28It's a very good battle there
24:31Terrific to watch
24:39He spotted the run
24:41And played him through
24:47Gelson Martins
24:49That always looked inevitable
24:51The defence dealt with that really well
24:54And it's Caliguri
25:00Castledine
25:02He's put it wide
25:05Monaco making another change here
25:07Yeah, he's run himself into the ground, hasn't he?
25:10And it's good to see that the crowd
25:12Appreciate his efforts
25:13Because he has put in a real honour shift
25:20And it's played forward
25:24He's got options out wide
25:31And the shots
25:33Oh, there was plenty on that
25:48Golovine
25:53Pellegri
25:54Hoist it forward
25:59Oh, well intercepted
26:00Oh, well intercepted
26:01Really alert to the danger
26:03Away from immediate danger
26:07Inlet
26:07Flopes on over
26:09Castledine
26:10Tries a shot
26:17There will be four extra minutes
26:25He's made sure that
26:26That won't get through
26:28And it's Caliguri
26:29Shoots
26:31He's put his foot
26:33Right through that one
26:50Pellegri
26:51Pellegri
26:52Pellegri
26:52Spreads it towards the left
26:59And there goes the final whistle
27:01Well, somehow they turned it round
27:03Every
27:04Still
27:04W
