Cesc Fabregas was in dreamland after Arsenal's historic win at the San Siro.
Fabregas and Emmanuel Adebayor scored the late goals Arsenal's dominance deserved as holders AC Milan were knocked out of the Champions League on their own ground.
Arsenal progress to the last eight, and Fabregas told ITV4: "This is a dream come true. To win in Milan 2-0, it is amazing.
"William [Gallas] said before the game 'Enjoy the atmosphere'. That is what we did.
"But this is just the beginning. We are now in the quarter-finals but we have not done anything. It is just one more step."
As for captain Gallas, he was quick to praise his team-mates, saying: "We said we have to show how good we are, how we can play.
"We had to give the maximum and we did a good job. I am proud of the players."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was also proud of his team's performance. He told ITV4: "We knocked the holders out and we did it with a great performance.
"I am very proud of the players, we had been under pressure because we have dropped a few points recently [in the Premier League].
"It didn't affect us and we came out in a determined way and we played with enthusiasm.
"We dominated the game and didn't make any mistakes, but we were creative."
Arsenal remain top of the Premier League, by a point from Manchester United, and Wenger added: "We are in the two main competitions and I feel that gives us a big boost for the rest of the season."
