Video: Monaco 0-2 Arsenal highlights – Gunners eliminated despite Giroud & Ramsey goals
GK – David Ospina – 6/10
Had very little to do with his team dominating possession, but was assured on the few occasions Monaco did threaten.
RB – Hector Bellerini – 7/10
An attacking threat on the right-flank, linked up well with Sanchez, and delivered some dangerous crosses into the box.
RCB – Per Mertesacker – 6/10
A relatively quiet evening for the German – yet composed when called upon. Though his almost complete absence of pace remains an uncomfortable watch.
LCB – Laurent Koscielny – 7/10
An authoritative performance, showed an attacking threat with promising moves forward, but did misplace simple passes towards the end.
LB – Nacho Monreal (Gibbs 83′) – 6/10
Worked hard throughout, bombing up and down the left-flank, but wasn’t able to influence in the final third as much as Bellerini.
