LONDON (AP) - Arsenal knocked out seven-time winner AC Milan, while Manchester United and FC Barcelona also advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League on Tuesday.
The Gunners won 2-0 to become the first English club to beat Milan at San Siro after Cesc Fabregas scored with a 30-meter shot in the 84th minute and Emmanuel Adebayor added a second in injury time.
Arsenal qualified 2-0 on aggregate after drawing 0-0 in the first leg two weeks ago in London.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 30th goal of the season in all competitions to give Man United a 1-0 victory over Lyon at Old Trafford and advance 2-1 on aggregate after a 1-1 first-leg draw in France.
Xavi Hernandez netted Barcelona's fourth-minute winner in a 1-0 victory over Celtic as the Spanish club advanced 4-2 overall.
The match between Sevilla and Fenerbahce went into extra time with the two teams level at 5-5 on aggregate. Having lost 3-2 in Turkey, Sevilla led 3-2 after 90 minutes at home.
In Wednesday's games, nine-time European champion Real Madrid needs to overturn AS Roma's 2-1 first-leg advantage, German champion Schalke goes to FC Porto trailing 1-0, and Chelsea has home advantage against Olympiakos with the teams level after a 0-0 first leg in Athens.
Inter Milan's return leg against Liverpool is not until March 11 when the Italian league champions need to overturn the five-time European winner's 2-0 first-leg lead.
