Arsene Wenger: 'Monaco don't deserve quarter-final place'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger claims that Monaco don't deserve their place in the last eight of the Champions League following their aggregate victory over the Gunners.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has expressed his belief that AS Monaco did not deserve to progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League last night.

Leonardo Jardim's side won the first leg of their last-16 tie with Arsenal 3-1 at the Emirates in February but were forced to hang on in the return meeting at the Stade Louis II on Tuesday night.

The hosts didn't manage a single shot on target during the second leg, but Arsenal fell just short on the night as they were eliminated on away goals despite a 2-0 victory.

Asked if Monaco deserved to progress, Wenger told reporters: "I don't believe so. If you look at the number of shots on target they had you will be surprised. Every defeat hurts but we didn't lose."

Wenger also angered his Monaco counterpart Jardim by not shaking his hand at the end of the match.
