Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid live score, result, updates, highlights, lineups from UEFA Champions League Round of 16

In arguably one of the most balanced UEFA Champions League Round of 16 ties, Inter Milan take on Atletico Madrid.

The first leg gets underway in the San Siro before the return leg at the magnificent Civitas Metropolitan Stadium in Madrid — the stage for the 2019 final of this competition, when Liverpool defeated Tottenham.

Inter came runners-up to Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in last year's competition and will hope to continue their fine European form under Simone Inzaghi. With a nine-point advantage at the top of Serie A, the Nerazzurri are in a confident mood as they attempt to go one better than 2022/23 and become champions of Europe for the first time since 2010.

Atleti and Diego Simeone, on the other hand, will be looking to replicate their performance at the weekend, which saw them put five past Las Palmas in La Liga. Simeone won the UEFA Cup with Inter in a two-year spell at the club as a player, so this tie will have special significance for the Atleti coach.

The Sporting News will be following the Inter vs. Atletico match live, providing score updates, commentary, and highlights as they happen.
