Tottenham player ratings vs AC Milan: Sarr and Skipp impress but ... (Football.London)

Here are our Tottenham Hotspur player ratings after their 1-0 defeat at AC Milan in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie at the San Siro.

Another one of those games in which he struggled to make any inroads and he loses the ball sloppily at times, one occasion earning him a rollicking from Dier. The 34-year-old showed his fitness to get up and down the pitch just three days after the Leicester game. His Champions League debut and he looked comfortable and composed alongside his only slightly older midfield team-mate. A busy presence down the right and also tucked in to help the young midfield duo in the centre of the pitch at times. Not a good night on his return to the team. Made two saves in the move that led to Diaz's early headed goal, the second a wonderful reaction stop but nobody was covering the Milan attacker.

Remembering the 2013/14 AC Milan side - their last UCL knockout ... (SPORF)

Ahead of their Champions League clash with Spurs, we look back on the 2013/14 AC Milan team - their last UCL knockout tie squad.

In fact, courtesy of [Whoscored.com](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/790672/Live/Europe-Champions-League-2013-2014-AC-Milan-Atletico-Madrid), here is the Rossoneri’s first leg line-up: Further ex-Citizens in the squad included [Mario Balotelli](https://www.sporf.com/tag/mario-balotelli/) (Milan’s top scorer that year) and Robinho, too. [2013/14 side](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ac-milan/kader/verein/5/saison_id/2013) is none other than [Kaka](https://www.sporf.com/tag/kaka/). They then faced a daunting Round-of-16 clash with Diego Simeone’s [Atletico Madrid](https://www.sporf.com/tag/atletico-madrid/). [Michael Essien](https://www.sporf.com/tag/michael-essien/) was not the only former Premier League squad member. Ultimately, the 2013/14 campaign proved one to forget for AC Milan. Maybe that’s why it is so easy to forget that some of these stars pulled on the famous red-and-black stripes. [a group](https://footballdatabase.com/league-scores-tables/uefa-champions-league-2013-14) featuring Barcelona, Ajax, and Celtic, finishing second. Kaka got Milan’s only goal of the tie, which at the time offered a chance back into the contest. However, goals from Arda Turan, Diego Costa (x2), and Raul Garcia sunk Milan’s chances. This is the first knockout tie that AC Milan will play since the 2013/14 season. Considering their status as one of Europe’s biggest clubs, Milan’s absence from the Champions League is a surprising one.
