The performance was enough today but of course we had difficult task I believe as well it could have been over at half time with the chances we had . 'Overall we paid for fact that we did n't produce game we wanted in the first leg . They surprised as first leg too sure of ourselves . But Monaco played at home tonight and had zero shots on target . We knew before game we had a 98 per chance to go out .

We 're very disappointed to be out tonight but overall we 're on positive trend and this game on line with what we did recently .
