Monaco errors allowed Arsenal to score - Jardim

Monaco boss Leonardo Jardim feels his side gave up two goals to Arsenal in their Champions League defeat on Tuesday night.

Les Rouges et Blancs were beaten 2-0 by the Gunners in their Round of 16 second leg at the Stade Louis II but that did not stop the Ligue 1 side from deservedly progressing to the quarter-finals of Europe's premier club competition much to the delight of Jardim.

"I am sure that all the teams will want to draw Monaco in the quarter-finals," he said in his post-match press conference.

"The qualification is totally deserved. Arsenal benefited from two errors to score."

Olivier Giroud produced a cool finish with his right foot in the 36th minute before Aaron Ramsey fired home with just 10 minutes remaining but Monaco managed to hold out to book a spot in the Champions League last eight where they have joined French rivals Paris Saint-Germain, Spanish pair Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, German giants Bayern Munich and Portugal's FC Porto.
