Milan edged into the last 16 of the Europa League on away goals after being held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Red Star Belgrade at San Siro.
Reeling from Red Star s last-gasp equaliser in the first leg and Sunday s 3-0 derby defeat to Serie A title rivals Inter, Milan just did enough to secure their progress on Thursday – and they had birthday boy Gianluigi Donnarumma to thank.
Franck Kessie s early penalty put Milan 3-2 up on aggregate, but Red Star hit back through El Fardou Ben.
With Milan profligate at the other end, 22-year-old Donnarumma had to pull off an outstanding stop to deny Sekou Sanogo, before Marko Gobeljic s red card dented Red Star s comeback hopes.
