It matters in the discussion about the suggestion that was being made that we should feel more ashamed about our exit from the CL than Arsenal.

Of course eventually it all means f*** all as we're both out of the competition. But people are acting like we should change the name of the club and move to another league because we went out on goal difference against a really good side while Arsenal are being portrayed as unlucky champions even though they got destroyed at home by a side, theoretically, much worse than themselves.

Ashamed is a strong word but i do think our exit was worse then Arsenal's. Atleast they put up a fight.

We were worse then PSG in both games. Especially in the second leg. 11 vs 10 at home and we were completely dominated by PSG.

Do agree with you that Arsenal shouldn't be complimented on their performance. They should have always beaten this Monaco side.

This away goals rule is utter Bullshit. Going out of a competition without losing a match is unfair. Two draws should warrant extra time and penalties. Or simply fuck this replay BS and have every round one match on a neutral venue.

I feel bad about our exit because we had it in our hands and couldn't see it out. If were that much worse than them in both games and still managed to only go out on away goals and through 2 late goals then we were doing at least something right in managing the game.

PSG are an excellent side with a lot more quality than Monaco. And "completely dominated" is a huge exaggeration, imo. We played poorly and didn't press our advantage but PSG were not dominating. They had 10 minutes in the second half were they managed to press us back and keep the ball, but other than that they relied on set pieces they got from counters. You forget that we more than matched them in the first half in Paris and were on top in the first half at the bridge even before the sending off.

We should be disappointed, but we have nothing too be ashamed of. It's not like we lost 3-1 at home to a team like Monaco!
