Goals: Fabregas 84', Adebayor 90+2'

Defending champion AC Milan was eliminated from the European Champions League, losing 2-0 at home Tuesday night to Arsenal.

Cesc Fabregas beat goalkeeper Zeljko Kalac with a long bouncing shot from outside the penalty area in the 84th minute and Emmanuel Adebayor scored from close range in injury time.

“It’s good for such a young team to beat a team like Milan with so much quality,” Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said. “It will be positive for the future and the rest of this season.

Arsenal advanced to the quarterfinals on 2-0 aggregate in the home-and-home series and became the first English club to beat Milan at San Siro.

“There are no regrets,” Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti said. “There are regrets when you could have done more, but they didn’t allow us to. Both sides did their best and we have to accept the loss and move on.”

Milan (4-3-1-2): 16 Kalac, 44 Oddo, 13 Nesta, 4 Kaladze, 3 Maldini, 8 Gattuso, 21 Pirlo, 23 Ambrosini, 22 Kaka, 7 Pato, 9 Inzaghi (69' Gilardino).

Arsenal (4-4-1-1): 24 Almunia, 3 Sagna, 10 Gallas, 6 Senderos, 22 Clichy, 27 Eboue (71' Walcott), 16 Flamini, 4 Fabregas, 2 Diaby, 13 Hleb, 25 Adebayor.
