Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, speaking to BT Sport: "It hurts a lot. We had a lot of intentions in this competition. It was very important for us. Emotionally it has been a very difficult game.

"We tried and tried and tried, we threw everything at them. They defended very deep. We managed to score though and we were through but then we conceded a late corner and it was another set piece.

"To attack against 10 players is a very difficult thing. I felt we created enough chances to win the game comfortably. It didn't happen but we had to manage the game much better in the final five minutes."

On whether he felt the players were too complacent going into the game: "I don't think so. The players knew it would be a difficult game. It is cruel. It is a massive disappointment but at the same time I am very proud of the players. It would have been an incredible lift if we had managed to go through the tie. The players have my backing for the way they played but it is painful."
