Napoli striker Higuain in tears after Champions League exit

Napoli's Champions League elimination left Gonzalo Higuain in tears last night.

Despite beating Arsenal, the result wasn't enough for the hosts to reach the knockout phase.

"We didn't get anything wrong. We had 12 points, just like Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund, but still went out. It's the first time a team has done so well in the group stage and still gone out," he told Sky Sport Italia.

"It's bizarre that we have been eliminated with 12 points when some teams can go through with just one victory."
