Late goals from Cesc Fabregas (84', shown here celebrating) and Emmanuel Adebayor (90+2') enabled Arsenal to defeat hosts (and defending champions) AC Milan 2-0 in game two of their home-and-away series with the Rossoneri, thus enabling the Gunners to advance to the quarterfinal round by winning the series 2-0 on aggregate.
At Seville, Spain:
Volkan Demirel turned back three Sevilla penalty kicks in the shootout, as visiting Fenerbahce, after dropping game two of their two-game set 3-2, won the penalty kick shootout to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time. Pictured here are a group of happy Yellow Canaries.
