Christian Abbiati: "I was lucky"

AC Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati claims that his save to deny Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie on Tuesday was "lucky".

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.
