<h1>Arsenal Pay Price for Overconfidence</h1>
LONDON - Elimination from the Champions League is difficult to endure. Going out in the wake of outflanking your adversary all alone turf develops that torment extensively.
That happened to Arsenal on Tuesday when it won, 2-0, in Monaco. It ended up being a pyrrhic triumph. Monaco, which won, 3-1, in London in the first leg three weeks prior, cutting edge to the quarterfinals on the premise of having scored one more away objective than the Gunners.
The truth was that Arsenal, which was thumped out of the Champions League in the Round of 16 for the fifth continuous season, disposed of itself. A couple of colleagues Monaco to be the simplest adversary to progress to the knockout stage — and a couple is an excess of at this level.
Stockpile paid the cost for lack of concern. It is one of the finest groups in England's Premier League, while Monaco is by no measure the best of Ligue 1 in France. Yet that 3-1 misfortune in London returned to haunt Arsenal on the French Riviera. The objectives from Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey on Tuesday arrived in a challenge so uneven that Monaco did not have one shot on objective or one corner kick, had under 30 percent of ownership and permitted Arsenal to pile on 17 endeavors on objective.
Toward the end, be that as it may, it was the Monaco players who cut loose around the field of Stade Louis II. Furthermore it was Arsenal who confronted the TV cams, brimming with perplexity regarding why it was out.
"The best group experienced," said Per Mertesacker, the Arsenal skipper, quickly after the last shriek. "We needed to demonstrate an alternate face today evening time, and we did that. Yet when you have one awful amusement in the Champions League, you are out.
