Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Monaco did not deserve their place in the Champions League quarter-finals after failing to register a shot on target in the second leg of their tie.
The Ligue 1 side advanced on away goals after beating Arsenal 3-1 at Emirates Stadium before losing 2-0 in Monaco.
Wenger's comments contrasted with those of captain Per Mertesacker.
The German World Cup winner said: "The best team went through. Monaco deserved it because they played much better in the first leg.
Arsenal's victory was their eighth in nine games and handed Monaco their first home defeat in 17 matches.
But Wenger, a former Monaco coach, blamed the overall result on "impatience" in the first leg.
