Wenger: Arsenal proved we can do it

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has praised his brilliant young Gunners for their inspired performance over Champions League holders AC Milan on Tuesday night, saying the result proves that Arsenal can beat the best teams.

"I have big respect for Milan, but my team deserves a lot of credit - having come here and beaten a team like them. We have given the performance we wanted. We played with organisation and never dropped off. We did not give them time and went forward every time we could. We played with authority, maturity, talent and intelligence.

"We have knocked out the holders. This team is very young, but we have won at Bernabeu and San Siro, so you need some quality to do that. On the day we were better than Milan, but maybe we play against them on Friday and it will be different."

"The competition is very hard now. It is a cup competition, and you have to take it like that. We will go for it - we are in the quarter-final, so why should we not believe we can do it.

"The growing process of a team is a bit like a wave, it goes up suddenly, then down with a few bad results, then it goes up high again."
