AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan was delighted to be back after their Champions League success against Tottenham.

Last night's 0-0 draw in London saw Milan progress to the quarterfinals.

Maignan, having returned from long-term injury this month, said: "I wanted to come back very soon, at the beginning I didn't have the patience.

"I forced it and in the end I had to wait.

"It was very hard, it's very difficult for a player."
