Atletico Beat AC Milan To Book Quarter-Final Ticket
- Updated: March 11, 2014
Diego Costa kept up a record of scoring in every Champions League game he has played this season as Atletico Madrid beat AC Milan to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 1997.
The striker, who scored the only goal of the first leg, volleyed in Koke’s cross after two minutes.
Kaka’s header pulled one back but Arda Turan scored with a deflected effort.
Raul Garcia headed in a third before Costa found the bottom corner from 10 yards with five minutes left.
Costa, who recently made his Spain debut, has hit seven goals in five Champions League appearances this season, and has scored 29 times in all competitions.
Diego Costa’s goal after two minutes equalled the fastest scored by Atletico Madrid – and fastest conceded by AC Milan – in the Champions League.
Having matched Real Madrid and Barcelona all season in La Liga, where they sit second, Atletico will be growing in belief that they can sustain their European campaign as well.
Diego Simeone’s side have won 16 of their last 17 home matches in Europe, and few teams will relish facing them in the last eight.
The exit of seven-time winners Milan means that there will be no Italian side in the last eight of the Champions League for the first time in five years.
