AC Milan's Adel Taarabt: 'It's not over yet'

AC Milan's Adel Taarabt has insisted that his side still has the chance to progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League despite going down 1-0 to Atletico Madrid this evening.

Diego Costa scored the only goal in the first leg of the last-16 fixture, but the Morocco international believes that there is everything to play for in the second leg.

"It is not over yet, we have another game to play in Madrid," Taarabt told UEFA's official website.

"We know it will be really tough, but we had our chances tonight and we can have other chances in three weeks' time. We have to be at our best in Madrid."

The return leg takes place in Spain on March 11.
