AC Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati has played down his wonder save against Arsenal captain Robin van Persie.
Van Persie had the chance to bring the Champions League tie level at 4-4, but Abbiati managed to thwart him.
"The important thing is to get to the second round, we haven't reached the quarterfinals for some years.
"At the break we were worried, we were throwing away the big advantage we had gained in the first leg. We were throwing away our qualification. At the break we looked at eachother and we said it was impossible to do worse than this.
"In the second half, Arsenal were visibly tired, they looked spent after all the effort they put into the first-half.
"Van Persie? Perhaps he underestimated me.""Thanks so much for the compliments but do not overdo it, because I still conceded three goals," smiled Abbiati.
