MILAN (AP) - AC Milan stunned Barcelona 2-0 in the first leg of its Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday, beating the Spanish giant for the first time in eight matches.
Kevin-Prince Boateng gave Milan the lead in controversial circumstances in the 57th minute. Cristian Zapata appeared to handle Riccardo Montolivo's assist in the build-up.
Barcelona players protested but to no avail and Gerard Pique was booked in the process.
Sulley Muntari sealed the win nine minutes from time with a well-worked goal.
