AC Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati has admitted that he was "lucky" to deny Robin Van Persie at close range on Tuesday night.
The Italian pulled off a smart save to deny Arsenal a fourth goal in their Champions League last-16 tie, but remained modest when questioned on the incident.
"My save? I just raised my arm and I was lucky Van Persie tried to chip it," Abbiati told reporters.
Milan advanced 4-3 on aggregate.
