AS Monaco defender Aymen Abdennour says they're proud to have dumped Arsenal out of the Champions League.

The Gunners won the second-leg in France, but still went out on the away goals rule.

"With Alexis Sanchez and players like Theo Walcott, they had a lot of pace on the flanks," said the centre-back.

"We conceded two goals because of our lack of concentration but thankfully it didn't rip out our qualification chances.

"For me, Arsenal are one of the best teams in the world so I think our qualification is deserved considering the way we played against such a team.

"Now we must turn the page and focus on the next game in Ligue 1 so that we can try to get a top-three finish to have a chance at Champions League football next season."
