Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin admits Arsenal were the superior team after last night's Champions League defeat.

Antonio Di Natale scored a goal and had a penalty saved as Arsenal won 2-1.

"We go out of this competition because Arsenal are a stronger side and they eliminated us," said Guidolin.

"Between the first and second leg we can say that we controlled the field for about three-quarters of each match. We were also a little unlucky."

"Our Champions League dream ends here," continued Guidolin. "I thank the fans who applauded us at the final whistle despite this defeat.

"I am happy with the performance of my lads and won't look at what could've been. I wish Arsenal a good run in the Champions League.

"Our dream may end here, but our season truly begins."
