Arsenal produced a thoroughly professional display to snuff out the threat of Juventus and book their place in the last four of the UEFA Champions League.
Protecting a two-goal lead from the first leg, The Gunners stood firm and in truth looked the more likely to score as they shut out the Serie A leaders in impressive fashion.
Juve were impotent in the first leg and they looked laboured in the second as Jens Lehmann did not have to make a save for the first hour.
Pavel Nedved attempted to haul Juve into the contest in the final 25 minutes, but Lehmann made a couple of telling saves and the Czech star was dismissed with 17 minutes remaining as The Gunners booked their ticket into the last four of the Champions League.
Arsenal must surely have been expecting an early barrage from Juventus, but Fredrik Ljungberg set the tone with a fantastic early tackle on Adrian Mutu and Lehmann claimed an early cross as The Gunners puffed out their chest and collected the record for the most minutes played in the Champions League without conceding a goal, surpassing Ajax.
The Juventus barrage did not materialise, with Arsenal dominant in the middle of the park, and the visitors could have grabbed a killer away goal on ten minutes, but Gilberto Silva made poor contact with a back-post volley.
Juve were all at sea at Highbury in the first leg and they carried on in a similar vein on home soil. It took 15 minutes for the Old Lady to emerge from their slumber, but it was nearly a telling moment as Gianluca Zambrotta's volley from 20 yards fizzed just a foot wide of goal.
Arsenal were happy to trade attacks and Cesc Fabregas just failed to latch onto a flick-on from Thierry Henry, while the latter shot low at Gianluigi Buffon.
Zambrotta looked the one real threat for Juve and his driving run and low cross forced Lehmann to dive at the feet of David Trezeguet, with the Frenchman ready to pounce on any scraps.
Arsenal carried a far greater threat and Emmanuel Eboue earned a rebuke from half a dozen players in yellow shirts when failing to cross having dashed down the right, while Gilberto headed weakly goalwards and Jose Antonio Reyes shot low at Buffon as the visitors finished the half in positive fashion.
Arsenal were presented with a chance, or rather Henry fashioned a chance for himself out of nothing when dashing clear of Fabio Cannavaro, but the Frenchman was, for once, let down by his touch and Buffon claimed the ball in extremely brave fashion.
Juve attempted to exert some influence on the game and Nedved and Trezeguet were willing runners, although Zlatan Ibrahimovic was not, but Arsenal were more athletic and quicker in every department, as Kolo Toure, Philippe Senderos, Mathieu Flamini and Eboue stood firm with an air of authority.
Nedved's influence was sorely missed in the first leg and he unlocked Arsenal's door with 25 minutes remaining, but the outstretched boot of Trezeguet just failed to connect with the Czech star's sublime cross.
The near miss sparked the crowd and both sides into life and Fabregas had a shot saved for Arsenal, while Lehmann made his first save of the match on 69 minutes when showing good reflexes to grasp a deflected drive from Ibrahimovic.
Nedved cut a frustrated figure on the left and he flattened Eboue to earn a booking, but moments later he took his frustration out on the ball as he flashed in a shot from 20 yards which drew a fine save from Lehmann.
Trezeguet wasted a fine tackle with 15 minutes remaining and if Juve thought the game had gone from their grasp at that point, it certainly did barely 60 seconds later as Nedved was shown a second yellow card for a wild tackle on Eboue.
As Juve chased the game, Arsenal cut them open on a couple of occasions but Alexander Hleb and Ljungberg passed up decent openings.
The misses mattered little, though, as Arsenal played out time in Turin to set up a semi-final with Villarreal.
