Monaco boss hits out at Arsenal and blasts them as disrespectful

Monaco boss Leonardo Jardim has accused Arsenal of being disrespectful to them at the Emirates

Jardim and the Monaco bench went wild after edging past the Gunners to move into the quarter-finals - despite losing 2-0.

The victory was sweet for Jardim, who was riled by Wenger's actions in their 3-1 first-leg win.

He said: "In the first leg, when I wanted to shake his hand, he did not thank me, so this time even though Arsenal did everything possible to go through, I chose not to thank him.

"I think so (that was disrespectful) and right now we are celebrating and think that Arsenal may be did not show all the respect that they should have during the first leg."

Jardim, whose side had been viewed as one of the weaker seeds for the knock-out stages despite their formidable defensive record, felt his team were worthy of progress.

He added: "Nobody was expecting us to be here. It's a great reward, so we have to give credit to the players for what they did," he said.
