Written: 5th March, 2008
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said his side were rewarded for their bravery as they produced a superb display to knock out Champions League holders AC Milan.
Arsenal won 2-0 in the San Siro to win their Champions League last-16 tie.
Wenger said: "We dominated the game and didn't make any mistakes and we were creative and not scared to go forward.
"We produced the match we wanted to. I am very proud. It is wonderful for a young team to knock out a team such as AC Milan. It is good for the future."
Cesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Adebayor scored the goals in a famous victory as Arsenal became the first English team to beat seven-time champions Milan in the San Siro.
"It is a dream come true to beat Milan at the San Siro 2-0," said Fabregas.
"It is amazing. The guys beforehand just wanted to go out and enjoy themselves. However, this is just the beginning, it is one more step for the season."
Milan won last season's final after beating Liverpool 2-1 in Athens.
