William Gallas clears the ball from the goal-line after Robinho's deflected effort
espn
Tottenham advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time with a battling 0-0 draw with seven-time European champions AC Milan at White Hart Lane. Peter Crouch's goal in the 1-0 defeat of the Rossoneri at the San Siro two weeks ago proved the decisive strike in the tie.
Man of the Match - Sandro. Playing in only his second Champions League game, Sandro was a calming presence in the Spurs midfield, breaking up play and preventing his compatriot Robinho from dictating play. He looked assured on the ball, cool in possession and also launched a number of Tottenham's counter-attacks.
Tottenham verdict: The attacking verve we have become accustomed to seeing from Spurs in the Champions League was lacking but, with the pressure of the occasion, it was perhaps understandable that Spurs took a more defensive approach. Michael Dawson and William Gallas were imperious in defence and Zlatan Ibrahimovic was impressively shackled. A disciplined if unspectacular display has Spurs fans in dreamland.
