The Premier League leaders produced a near-perfect display, as they closed down the Italians at every chance on Tuesday night en route to a 2-0 second leg victory following the goalless draw at The Emirates.

"We are top of the Premier League and through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League after beating the holders at home, so why can't we win them both?" said Spain midfielder Fabregas.

He added: "We do not have 25 internationals like Chelsea so we were never going to be able to challenge for all four trophies - but we are still in contention for the two which really matter."

The Gunners' patience and hard work was rewarded in the San Siro when Fabregas, who had earlier hit the crossbar, thundered in a 25-yard effort with just six minutes remaining.

A second from Emmanuel Adebayor - his opening goal for Arsenal in the Champions League - sealed a famous win, as the Serie A giants were beaten for the first time by an English side.

Wenger firmly believes his youngsters have what it takes to go all the way to Moscow, but knows it will not be an easy path for the 2006 Champions League finalists.

He said: "The competition is very hard now. It is a cup competition and you have to take it like that. We will go for it - we are in the quarter-final, so why should we not believe we can do it.

"The growing process of a team is a bit like a wave, it goes up suddenly, then down with a few bad results, then it goes up high again.

"While this will strengthen the belief in the team, now we have to keep a good balance between belief and humility - that is a very important quality as well because it allows a team to be consistent."
