Subsitutions for both teams now as AC Milan's Luca Antonini comes on for defender Marek Jankulovski, who had picked up a yellow card earlier in the second half for a foul on Aaron Lennon. Youngster Alexander Merkel is also on for Kevin-Prince Boateng, who had been looking rather tired after working very hard all match. Meanwhile Steven Pienaar had been replaced by Jermaine Jenas as Tottenham switch to a 4-5-1 in an attempt to protect their lead. With Lennon on the right and Gareth Bale on the other, Spurs should still be able to threaten even with a more defensively-oriented midfield.
Tottenham Hotspur Vs. AC Milan: Substitutions For Both Sides As One Team Chases, Other Protects
There are just about fifteen minutes left for Milan to try to get a goal, but they’ve looked nowhere near as effective in this half - where they were once destroying Tottenham they’re pounding rather uselessly against the back four, with Ibrahimovic in particular disappointing. If the home side can hang on, they’re into the quarter finals.
