Arsenal beat Monaco 2 – 0 and came agonizingly close to getting there.It is absurd to see a team that lost 3 -1 at home suddenly play so well in the second leg.
Olivier Giroud,villain of the first leg,scored in the first half and Aaron Ramsey scored the second about 10 minutes from time.
But Arsenal’s lunatic performance in the first leg could not be undone any further.
There was to be be no miracle at Monaco.
For the fifth season in a row Arsenal exited at the same point in the proceedings.
Wenger’s white haired head was bowed in sorrow.It’s back to square one for him.No gallant last words.Just the mystery of that abysmal first leg loss.
