Atletico Madrid demolishes AC Milan and advances to the quarter-finals.....Can Atletico spring up a surprise in the Champions League?

Atletico Madrid are in the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 1997 after knocking out seven-time winners AC Milan.

Diego Costa was their hero with two goals that made him the first player ever to score seven goals in his first five Champions League appearances.

He set the ball rolling with a spectacular opener after just three minutes and wrapped things up with five minutes remaining with his second goal.

Milan went down fighting but they could have no complaints at their exit at the hands of Diego Simeone’s team. Simeone was playing for Atletico in 1997 when they were last at Europe’s top table. He has built a team in his own teak-tough likeness and he has one of Europe’s most unstoppable strikers leading them. 

So it is back to the drawing board for Seedorf and his boy's....feeling for them, they didn't have to be humiliated this way. Athletico 5-1 AC Milan on aggregates
