Ramsey: Arsenal underestimated Monaco

Aaron Ramsey believes Arsenal miscalculated their two-legged Champions League contest with Monaco.

The Gunners were eliminated at the Round of 16 stage at the hands of the French side despite winning 2-0 at the Stade Louis II on Tuesday night.

Arsenal's 3-1 first leg loss at home ultimately cost them in their quest for a first quarter-final in five years and midfielder Ramsey, who scored in the return bout, felt it was a slight case of underestimating their opponents.

"We have always played Bayern Munich, Barcelona, teams like that and no disrespect to Monaco but we thought we had a really good opportunity of qualifying and we gave ourselves a tough test from the first game," Ramsey told ITV1.

"We came here and have nearly done it but that seems to be the case every year."
