AC Milan suffered heartbreak in their
first Champions League match at San Siro in seven years, losing
2-1 to Atletico Madrid due to a stoppage-time penalty after
playing most of the match in 10 men.
Rafael Leao put the seven-time European champions in front in
early on, but Stefano Pioli's men suffered a decisive setback
when Franck Kessie was sent off on the half-hour mark for a
second yellow card.
The hosts coped well with the Spanish champions attempts to
fight back until the closing, when Antoine Griezmann volleyed
home to level.
Luis Suarez then concerted a penalty conceded for handball in
stoppage time to win the game for the visitors.
Milan are bottom of Group B with zero points after they lost
their opening game at Liverpool too.
There was also disappointment for Inter, who were held to
goalless draw at Shakhtar Donetsk.
They are third in Group D with one point, five behind surprise
leaders Sheriff, who won 2-1 at Real Madrid on Tuesday.
On Wednesday Atalanta visit Young Boys and Juventus take on
European champions Chelsea in Turin.
